Why am I being asked for an export key from a "SafariSearchUploadWorker" pop-up window? Is this safe or malicious?

SafariSearchUploadWorker -EtreCheckPro report.log

What is SafariSearchUploadWorker?


A pop-up, “SafariSearchUploadWorker” occasionally appears on my Mac mini . My options are Always Allow, Deny or Allow. The pop-up requests my password to continue.


I'm using a Mac mini with M2 Pro Chip, 32GB RAM, macOS 27.0.1


An EtreCheckPro report is attached.
