The internet traffic between our managed macOS Mojave laptops and the Apple Software Updates website is blocked for security reasons. So I can not use the regular System Preferences - Software Update to update native macOS software.
This is not an issue for me, because every time Apple release a Software Update, I wait a week or so and I visit the following URL https://support.apple.com/downloads and I download the specific package (in .dmg format), I save the .dmg package into a USB Stick and I update the macOS laptops and I am good to go.
Now, the problem is that Apple just released an important security update https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212808 just for Safari 14.1.2.
My question is since that I believe this time it is just Safari the issue, is Apple going to publish just the Safari .dmg package update on the regular https://support.apple.com/downloads website? If not, how can I download just the Safari 14.1.2 in .dmg/.pkg format so I can install into our macOS Mojave laptops?
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
@fviola Note that version 14.1.2 is the same version number as the previous Safari release. You'll have to look at CFBundleVersion to see that this is a different build.
You can use SUS Inspector to extract the Safari installer package URLs from Apple's Software Update Servers. Here they are for the 2021-09-13 releases of Safari 14.1.2:
If you were not already aware Apple stopped releasing update deltas with Big Sur. You have to get updates either from a content caching server (which requires a connection to apple.com) or directly from Apple themselves. I work for a bank and its fun keeping our filters away from apple's traffic. Since Mojave is just about dead you probably want to get with security about updating processes really soon.

@sdagley thanks a lot..... question can you provide me step by step where did you find/download the Safari14.1.2MojaveAuto.pkg ???? I can not use the SUS Inspector. Do you know if there is any way to use the command line? I am thinking, using an unmanaged device, to ONLY download the Safari 14.1.2 without installing and copy the package to my USB Stick.

@fviola The link I posted is the download link for the .pkg. Just paste it into the Safari URL field and it will be downloaded
