I found this reddit thread through Google lens, looks the same: https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/comments/1hk3jab/confused_what_is_this/

tldr; some sort of scale bug

Relevant part

Stellate scale is also a known pest of Schefflera plants. Wash foliage with warm soapy water, try not to get any in the pot. You may have to treat multiple times. Imdacloprid (Bonide Systemic) should also be effective as it’s considered a soft bodied scale.

Thanks a lot. I think it indeed is Stellate scale!
