This is not something that can be fixed programatically. The best you can do is open the Security pane in System Preferences. Then you have to rely on the user to do the rest. And that is just to make it work in Mojave. Attempting to force the user to do that, or even merely leading the user to it, is an automatic rejection in the Mac App Store. A series of tutorials. This is the first part in a three-part series of tutorials on sandboxing, signing, notarizing, and and distributing macOS apps outside of the Mac App Store. In this tutorial, we’ll build a non-sandboxed app, talk about certificates, sign the app, notarize it, briefly talk about building an installer, sign and notarize the installer, and finally cover distribution. Apple helps you keep your Mac secure with software updates. The best way to keep your Mac secure is to run the latest software. When new updates are available, macOS sends you a notification — or you can opt in to have updates installed automatically when your Mac is not in use. MacOS checks for new updates every day, so it’s easy to always have the latest and safest version.
1. Advisory Information
Title: Apple OS X Sandbox Predefined Profiles Bypass Advisory ID: CORE-2011-0919 Advisory URL: http://www.coresecurity.com/content/apple-osx-sandbox-bypass Date published: 2011-11-10 Date of last update: 2011-11-10 Vendors contacted: Apple Release mode: User release
2. Vulnerability Information
Class: Access control failure [CWE-264] Impact: Code execution Remotely Exploitable: Yes Locally Exploitable: No CVE Name: CVE-2011-1516
3. Vulnerability Description
Several of the default pre-defined sandbox profiles don't properly limit all the available mechanisms and therefore allow exercising part of the restricted functionality. Namely, sending Apple events is possible within the no-network sandbox (kSBXProfileNoNetwork). A compromised application hypothetically restricted by the use of the no-network profile may have access to network resources through the use of Apple events to invoke the execution of other applications not directly restricted by the sandbox.
It is worth mentioning that a similar issue was reported by Charlie Miller in his talk at Black Hat Japan 2008 [2]. He mentioned a few processes sandboxed by default as well as a method to circumvent the protection. Sometime after the talk, Apple modified the mentioned profiles by restricting the use of Apple events but did not modify the generic profiles.

8. Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code
The use of Apple events is possible within the several default profiles as no-network, no-internet (kSBXProfileNoNetwork, kSBXProfileNoInternet) and others. A compromised application hypothetically restricted by the use of the no-network profile may have access to network resources through the use of Apple events to invoke the execution of other applications not directly restricted by the sandbox.
As Apple's 'App Sandbox Design Guide' document points out, applications that require sending Apple events to other arbitrary applications are not suitable for sandboxing, because some developer tools restrict Apple events by default while defining the sandbox. The reason for this is that, as we show here, by dispatching Apple events a process can escape the sandbox [1].
The method used by Charlie Miller involves dropping a script to the disk and getting it executed by launchd via launchctl. Our approach is technically the same without the need to drop a file. In our PoC we used 'osascript' to send the required Apple events to launchd in order to execute the new process. As the new process is not a 'child' of the sandboxed process, it is created without the sandbox restrictions.
An additional risk with these profiles is that they are supposed to provide an example of how a process should be restricted in different scenarios. If the no-network profile allows Apple-script events, this may result in new applications using the same restriction rules, therefore offering a false sense of security.

2011-09-20: Core Security Technologies notifies Apple Product Security of the vulnerability, including technical details. Preliminary publication date is set to November 7, 2011.
2010-09-20: Vendor acknowledges the receipt of the information.
2010-10-05: Vendor informs that it does not see any actual security implications. The kSBXProfileNoNetwork sandbox profile does not promise that Apple Events will be blocked in the documentation. (Specifically, all it guarantees is 'all sockets-based networking is prohibited'.)
2011-10-13: Core responds that the kSBXProfileNoNetwork sandbox profile should guarantee that 'all sockets-based networking is prohibited'. The PoC sent to Apple shows that through the use of Apple events (osascript is used in the PoC just to keep it simple) an attacker could circumvent the restriction. So, at the end, sockets-based networking is used.
2010-10-18: Vendor responds that it is currently considering modifying its documentation to explicitly point out what Core described; namely, that the restrictions that these particular sandbox profiles provide are limited to the process in which the sandbox is applied.
2011-11-10: The advisory CORE-2011-0919 is published as user release.
