pop up window on safari “10347847186036696956” wants access to control “Safari.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari.app”, and to perform actions within that app.

Suddenly this message pops up annoyingly every minute on safari“10347847186036696956” wants access to control “Safari.app”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari.app”, and to perform actions within that app.

I have checked all preferences and websites and privacy and cannot seem to block it. Help!
