It sounds like something from fwupdmgr. When the updates are applied
to UEFI dbx, I believe it is the platform signing keys for secure
boot.

I have not encountered problems using fwupdmgr. In fact, my update
scripts run it daily.

#  fwupdmgr update

 • KXG50ZNV256G NVMe TOSHIBA 256GB

Also see https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/fwupdmgr.1.html .
