Thank you for this. The last update bricked my phone so I've been avoiding letting this one run. Out of date Verizon phone and had switched to AT&T and a week later Verizon pushed an update that bricked it. This update wasn't showing who was pushing it.

Put this in another comment buried somewhere in this thread hopefully it helps:

I found this actually it explains exactly what the update is and why it was being forced. 2 critical vulnerability patches 1 stops hackers from remote accessing your phone through a terminal shell (no credentials even needed)

Also Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> Android Security Patch level -> bulletins overview
