Hi, can anyone explain What is "Automator Application Stub.app" in "/System/Library/CoreServices/Automator Application Stub.app" is?
It is listed as,
Automator Application Stub:
Version: 1.3
Obtained from: Unknown
Last Modified: 2022-02-06, 22:22
Kind: Universal
Location: /System/Library/CoreServices/Automator Application Stub.app
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2
No quite. The an Automatic standalone app is bundled in a "package". See this post to download the latest version (of set RAW Preview). To open in Automator drag and drop (the unzipped) standalone app on the Automator application. You can also right-click on the standalone app and select "Show Package Contents" to locate the stub.
I don't think that there's anything to worry about related to this stub.

Can say - I do not see this Application listed on either of my Apple M1 Desktop or Laptop in the location appearing if the supplied Screen Shot
Why would Apple not sign it, is that theory a serious possibility???
"It is the system application that runs Automator applications (which have an Automator Application Stub executable in the bundle).
That application doesn't appear to be code-signed, which might be Apple's way of not letting you run it. The system partition is also read-only, so you can't alter anything in it."
I have the same file. Seems to be required for standalone Automator apps (see below).
But yours seems to be located on a mountable drive? And what is a standalone automator app?
