This seems to be a variation of

This is a dirty hack, but should work:

dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 0644 /usr/bin/gjs-console
pkill -9 -f gjs-console

To revert this change, use:

dpkg-statoverride --update --remove /usr/bin/gjs-console

Please read an output of 'apt-cache show gjs'.
My guess is - some kind of debugging tool. Personally, I don't trust
nor use any DE written in javascript.
