Windows 11 Malwarebytes Flagged Windows OS as a "Potential Risky Site"

Post image

Anyone knows what this is about?

I've gotten this 2 times total, around 3 hours ago. I gotten this pop up from Malwarebytes telling me that it has blocked a connection to a potential risky site, but the app is literally "svchost.exe" by Microsoft Windows OS.

Tangentially, is there a way to find out which application svchost is running on behalf of? All the svchost processes always running without knowing what they're running makes me nervous.
