Safari issue with a "pop up"

Why does the following "pop up" frequently when I am using Safari? “5008235715115937309” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app.


I have always clicked "Don't Allow" except once when I accidentally clicked "OK".


How can I stop the pop up from reoccurring?


Thanks


Derek
