The osascript tool, provided by Apple in the operating system, runs either AppleScripts, or JavaScripts and can be present in Automator applications, Terminal scripts, or even called from a compiled application. What did you run prior to this dialog appearing? I do not recognize that custom icon on that panel though, and I am on a touch ID capable MacBook Pro.
