I know of no way to specifically update Safari without updating the MacOS. The two are pretty much tied together, and have been for several years now.

There was a Safari 17.3.1 update that just rolled out for macOS Monterey and Ventura.

OH, geez Louise. It upgraded to Sonoma. I SPECIFICALLY asked it JUST to update Safari. Not a big deal, really, I guess.

Sadly I've seen several other cases, where Sonoma barged in on Monterey and Ventura.
