AEServer Accessibility Permission After 11.5 - Am I The Only One?

Hi guys,

So, 3 days ago I reformated my Mac because AEServer permission popped out of nowhere on my accessibility permissions. After doing some research, it's a permission that will allow Apple Scripts to run remotely.

Quite sus though, as it hasn't always been there. And being the paranoid guy I am, I'm always checking my privacy settings anyway.

So, I reformated my M1 Mac, and today, a new update popped up - 11.5.1. I updated it and... AEServer permission appeared once again.

Is it related to Mac updates? Does it happen to you guys as well?

Sorry if it's a dumb question, it's my first mac and I'd like to know what's going on. How do I find which process or application created this permission? Is it a virus? should I erase and reinstall again? should I be worried?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
