Mysterious Generic notifcation "Update Available Title"?

I have a mysterious notification that keeps popping up. It says

"Update Available Title

Update Available Body"

I dismiss it and it appears again the next day. I've checked the App Store, System Settings and my commonly used programs, and I don't see anything with an update pending. Is there a way to look under the hood and see what program may have triggered this notifcation?

Running on a 16 inch Intel Macbook Pro

macOS 13.1 Ventura

MacBook Pro 15″

Click on it. It should open the app that triggered it.

It looks like some kind of firmware update notification icon.

Same here:

There's even an "Options" popup at the bottom right, with the helpfully titled options "Update Title" and "Not Now Title". Clicking on it does nothing.

Just updated from 10.14.6 to 13.1, with lots of changes, one of which apparently triggered this.

(haven't been able to track it down yet.)

Do you have a Blackmagic eGpu? I see this notification whenever I connect mine. (And not really any other time.) It started happening after I installed an update from Blackmagic Design that was either a firmware update on the eGpu or a Thunderbolt update (not sure).
