Unknown item in Network Extensions

In General > Login Items & Extensions > Network Extensions I find one entry which only says "Unknown". There is no accompanying button to enable/disable, so I suppose that whatever it is it is not running.


But is there a way to find out why this entry is there is, say, by using a terminal command, or inspecting somewhere with finder ?


I would very much like to know what it is, and either remove it or figure out how to enable it if it turns out to be something I want in there.


Running Sequoia 15.4

if your running any 3rd party Antivirus, VPN or Firewall try disabling those— reboot and compare your results(?)
