/usr/local/bin/dataupload.plx, what is it and what is it doing?

What is /usr/local/bin/dataupload.plx doing and why?

I noticed an unexpected email from my UTM software appliance (home use).

Current software version...: 9.703003

# crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (- installed on Mon Aug 24 20:36:33 2020)
# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42 vixie Exp $)

#

# ls -l /usr/local/bin/dataupload.plx
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93292 Aug 24 21:39 /usr/local/bin/dataupload.plx

I almost certainly would not have noticed this had standard error been redirected too.

A few notes:

u2d-ohelp9-9.1086 ?

/var/log/webadmin/*/*/*

/tmp/*/*.eip & /tmp/*/*.tar.gz

ip addresses, what more?

upload to something fronted by cloudfront?

Edit:  Note, incomplete answers will not be considered as an accepted answer.  Details on what the plx is doing, why it is doing so and why this appears to have been silently rolled out are not insignificant to the post.  Further questions in the replies are also important.
