It is called "GUI Scripting". It is part o Universal Access. It is off by
default. It is off on over 90% of all Macs. It is a security hole. It
can be enabled by the user on the "Universal Access" panel of System
Preferences by selecting the [] Enable Access for Assistive Devices.

In addition, there are USB driver kits that show you how to write virtual
keyboards and mice. Installing these requires getting the user to agree
to a security dialog.
There are system calls in Core Graphics to move the mouse that are not
restricted.
