Safari extension | Community

Hi All,

does anyone know/have extension attributes to find installed extension in Safari browser?

Page 1 / 1

We don't use this anymore, but we used to use it. Last time we did, it worked fairly well:

To note, I think python will need to be on the systems

#!/usr/local/bin/managed_python3





#         Name:  safari_extensions.py

#         Description:  This extension attribute returns a list of the names and

#              versions of all Safari add-ons installed for the current

#              user. Inspired by the managed_python3 version of Chrome Extensions script by Elliot Jordan <elliot@lindegroup.com>

import os

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

import re

import sys

from SystemConfiguration import SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser



def get_current_user():

		username = (SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser(None, None, None) or [None])[0] 

		return username

def get_extensions(username):

		extensions_list = ("/Users/%s/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/"

			"Data/Library/Safari/AppExtensions/Extensions.plist" % username)

		return extensions_list



def print_results(extensions_list):

    tree = ET.parse(extensions_list)

    root = tree.getroot()

    list = ""

    for key in root.iter('key'):

        match = re.search('com.',key.text)

        if match:

            result = key.text

            list = list + result + "\\n"

    return list.strip()



def main():

		username = get_current_user()

		extensions_list = get_extensions(username)

		#results = parse_results(manifest_list)

		to_echo = print_results(extensions_list)

		print("<result>%s</result>" % to_echo)

	

if __name__ == '__main__':

		main()

I use this script, the only rub is it may still list an extension in the plist after you've already removed it.

#!/bin/bash

user=$(stat -f%Su /dev/console)
extensions_list="/Users/$user/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/WebExtensions/Extensions.plist"

ExtensionCheck=$( /bin/cat $extensions_list | /usr/bin/grep key | /usr/bin/grep extension)
echo "<result>$ExtensionCheck</result>"
exit 0

I recently had need to deploy this: https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/can-support-ea-for-this-script/m-p/321992/highlight/true#M277878

Should be easy to tailor for only Safari.

This scripts returns empty value when I run from Jamf EA.
when I run locally it return cat: /Users/sivakum/Library/Containers/com.apple.Safari/Data/Library/Safari/WebExtensions/Extensions.plist: Operation not permitted

		main()

This requires python in all system
