I am repeatedly
receiving this from my Apple Mac Mini
“9527369705551797094” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app.

It sounds like you have downloaded or installed some kind of third party Anti-Virus, Cleaning or perhaps even some Spam-ware that wants access.
Such thing like Anti-Virus and Cleaning ware are not necessary or recommended for macOS and can actually do more harm than good.
To sort out what it is, please download and run EtreCheck on your Mac and post back here with the EtreCheck Report.

If it turns out to be Spam-ware, then run the free version of MalwareBytes to see if it can find the culprit.

This appears to be it.
In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste the following:

drag the file to the trash.
Repeat the process with

Enter your password if requested. Empty the trash and restart.
I downloaded and ran the free version of etrecheck as suggested above and it identified my problem as an unsigned file and, with my permission, deleted it. Problem solved - for now, but my husband had a similar occurrence on his computer a week ago, so this may be a reoccurring problem going forward. The file that was identified as causing the problem had been loaded to my computer on 3-4-2021 but I can't recall doing so. Thank you for providing this suggestion of help.
Same thing is happening to me - the report generated by etrecheck indicated an unsigned file among other things. My first question is - how do I find the unsigned file? I ran Malwarebytes and it quits - comes back with a window saying it quit unexpectedly.
These are not my instructions** But they did work for me!!

I'm so desperate cause for the first time in my life I have a virus and I did almost everything to get rid of it
I even put my Big Sur down, now I have too many Macintosh HD's. Under > monitoring I checked the X for = stop running that particular number
Now that **** virus sneaked into >> Security&Privacy > Automation (and I cannot delete it😡
I immediately unchecked Safari again, worst I cannot even open my FileVault, and I know I have the right access code because I took a picture.
I am adding a snapshot please will somebody tell me how I get rid of it or if I have to put my Big Sur down again, if I have to is there any link for particular Big Sur and not somebody using Catalina and telling your picture look slight different, that's all blah blah ... Big Sur doesn't even shut down like all the others
Thank you and God Bless for anybody who can tell me
Y?☺️
Hi Luis Sequeira1, you seem to know a lot about this issue. I just ran EtreCheck because I had the same problem as DATA FERRET and got rid of the problematic files. In my EtreCheck report, there's also this (see screenshot). I'd like to remove these but not sure if I have to. Should I or shouldn't I? Thanks in advance for your help!
This shows that the system security is working.
You probably installed some adware that is trying to control Safari, but it can't unless you allow it.
You can run MalwareBytes to check on your system.
And you can run Etrecheck and post its report here so others can look for issues.
Launchd: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.12156649432169357687.plist
Executable: ~/Library/Application Support/com.18284592531388449925/5589096709439686573 E5164481-C16F-5483-B5F3-4DBB0D8AF831 1137
Details: Domain name invalid - possibly adware
Run Etrecheck again, and follow the instructions for removing this.
The report says exactly where the file is:
Launchd: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.18110 ...
Executable: ~/Library/Application Support/com.130785374 .....
Details: Domain name invalid - possibly adware
You can delete these two using the Finder:
Press command-shift-G and paste
~/Library/LaunchAgents
Drag com.18110... to the trash
Repeat with
~/Library/Application Support/
and drag the folder com.130... to the trash
Restart.
You do not have a virus and that application cannot control Safari unless you allow it. As long as you do NOT check that box, no problem.
As others have done, run Etrecheck and post its full report here.
Was not able to download ether....... But I had purchased Malwarebytes recently. I opened this app, and gave it "Full Disk Access". It found 6 threats, and immediately quarantined them. Problem solved.
I do not endorse, or recommend this or any other particular product. Just wanted to help out. In this instance, it worked very well. The Pop-Up asking for permission was VERY annoying, and I need to use Safari as my browser, so permanently switching to Chrome was not a real option for me.
Good luck.
These are applications that are not digitally signed.
The icon is the default icon one gets if you just put together an application in XCode.
Were you experimenting with XCode to make a mac app?
You can click the "Show in Finder" button and see where these applications are stored.
Most likely they are just sitting there, harmlessly, but you can simply drag them to the trash.

You can run Etrecheck again and follow the instructions to remove the adware.
If that does not work, we can give instructions for removing these files manually.
I am not sure if the free version can remove the adware. If it can, then you don't need to purchase.
It is an invaluable tool for all of us here trying to help. I did purchase it, but that is of course your call.
You can also delete these files manually.
