info OOXML_DEFINED_NAME_NETWORK_URI

What it means

An Excel workbook defined name stores an HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP target.

Why it fires

The analyzer parses xl/workbook.xml structurally and decodes XML entities before extracting the target. Reporting integrations can legitimately retain these values, so this rule is searchable, zero-weight provenance unless code or a formula consumes the name.
