Just a heads up.

just now installed Security Update 2020-006 from the App Store on my unsupported Mac Pro 3,1 running High Sierra.
Install was fast and painless, now to test it out for a few days...

Did you get it from the developer portal or the regular update system?
I have only seen it as a developer beta at this time.

Security Update 2020-006 showed up for me in App Store and installed without drama on High Sierra
Poor Safari still stuck on version 13 though… 😥

In my case I checked the App Store and it showed updates available.
Clicked on Install all" and the rest was easy.

How to download and install macOS - Apple Support
Download and install current or previous versions of the Mac operating system on compatible Mac computers.
That is not the link that he/she needs. That is telling how to get install images for new installs and not updates.How to download and install macOS - Apple Support

It seems like apple has not uploaded it yet.
Yes, I misread the post. My mistake.
Anyway, the update showed up in the app store, and I'm running an unsupported Mac.
That means one can install the Security Update 2020-006 (that is only available via the App Store) just like that, even for an unsupported Mac ?
I would be glad to know that. Had asked already in the thread on running High Sierra on unsupported Macs but did not receive any answer there ...
For app store update installs to work without errors on an unsupported system you need to be sure your boot drive is APFS formatted.
Also, as long as you have a backup you can make a mistake without worry. Trying is learning. Don't do yourself the disservice of waiting to be spoon fed an answer when you can figure it out easily with a try or two.
I used a USB stick the other day to make a printer firmware downgrade for my Xerox printer. Strangely, I could only see APFS formatting methods. No journaled, no MS-DOS FAT or whatsoever. I needed to go to a MacbookPro with OS X Sierra to get the job done because my OS X High Sierra MacbookPro did only indicate APFS formatting methods for the same USB stick.
Strange.

Oh okay, thanks. I wonder why it's not in the App Store, taken the importance of security updates actually getting through to users.You can get it here...

And um, what's the talk about unsupported Macs? Mine is a late 2009 2 x 2,4 Ghz 6-core Mac Pro that's EFI flashed to 5,1. A bit concerned before installing anything outside of App Store because I know that it's not current.
The 2020-006 update installed for me on 2 machines, a 2008 macpro3,1 running High Sierra and a 2009 4,1->5,1 running Mojave, in each case without any issues.
But, as the saying goes YMMV
My late 2008 15” MBP running unsupported High Sierra installed the 006 update just fine from the App Store. It is formatted as APFS though.
Also got it from App Store without problem.
Safari is retiring on my system now since it is stuck on 13.x. I saw that 14.x is not just about added functionality but also security updates that 13.x never received.
So alternative supported browsers will be in focus now.
