From your Activity Monitor.app you can search and click open the "com.apple.safari.sandboxbroker" and run a sample for some insight:


see: Activity Monitor User Guide for Mac - Apple Support


Path:

/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/XPCServices/com.apple.Safari.SandboxBroker.xpc/Contents/MacOS/com.apple.Safari.SandboxBroker



it appears to essentially be a registry of data for the sandbox feature of Safari— controlling the status of differing windows and tabs and version history plus data stamps...
