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.

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.

This appears to be it.
In the Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste the following:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.12322000620232807038.E9F6F8AC-530F-4C9F-AC17-27CEAF12CB78.plist
drag the file to the trash.
Repeat the process with

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.
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.
These are not my instructions** But they did work for me!!

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.
You have adware. Run Etrecheck again and follow the instructions to remove; if Etrecheck can’t then get the free version of MalwareBytes to do it.
Also:
Proxies - Network proxies detected. This could be evidence of malware.
Usually there are no proxies; as the report says this is probably caused by the adware. Open System Preferences->Network, click Advanced, then click Proxies. Remove them, unless you are sure that you have legitimate reasons for them.
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.
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.
The report flags these as probably adware:

You can use the free version of MalwareBytes to remove it, or you can do it manually.
1) In Finder press Command-Shift-period to make Finder show 'hidden files'. (as noted above, some of these files are hidden and you would not find them otherwise).
2) In Finder, press Command-Shift-G and paste the following line:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.OperativeDesktop.service.plist
then drag the file to the trash. Repeat for each of the following lines (each is a single, long line):
~/Library/Application Support/.17503686062684007428/Services/com.OperativeDesktop.service/OperativeDesktop.service -s 6600
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.11019459635502539271.plist
/Library/Application Support/.17503686062684007428/System/com.OperativeDesktop.system/OperativeDesktop.system -t com.OperativeDesktop.system
Then restart your mac, and see how it goes. You may also run Etrecheck again to see if some part of those remain.
You can press command-shift-period again to stop showing hidden files.
I had this happen same thing different strong of numbers. they had me download malwarebytes, allow permissions and run it. it found 4 threats and now is working perfectly. do the free download.
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.
An app wants access to control “Safari”
