Cocoa script from “unknown source”

Go to about this Mac > system report > software > applications. If you see cocoa-apple script from “unknown source”, you’re in trouble. Cocoa scripts hit the kernel, boot loader, authentication, automation, accessibility and GUI. This appears to be a wide spread exploit - it’s not “trivial or normal”. Check YouTube, see how much damage/control unsigned cocoa scripts can do. Then contact apple and demand they fix this.

It is a normal template (not an exploit) included with Script Debugger templates that are installed by the operating system. It is (optionally) used when creating Cocoa-AppleScript-Objective-C applications. Apple has provided this for years, and you can ignore it.
