CSXS Event Warning

I have never had a warning pop up in InDesign before. 

 

"CSXSEvent does not have a constructor
Do you want to disable this event handler?

"

Can you tell me what this means and how to fix it? It looks like InDesign just updated today to 20.4. I am on a Mac (if that is important)

    This looks like a script error: see https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/cc2015-mac-cxsevent-does-not-have-a-constructor-warning-from-newly-installed-cep-extension-on-macosx/m-p/7881502.

     

    In case this isn't enough information, I'll add the scripting tag to your post.
