Kext has a CFBundleExecutable property but the executable can't be found: AppleOSXUSBNCM

When I ran the command "system_profiler SPExtensionsDataType" It provided an error for kext "AppleOSXUSBNCM.kext" Does anyone know what this error is about or what could cause it?

I have the same message in Catalina, I think it's just an old kext that will be removed by Apple in the future https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/

According to Intego Kext will be completely removed in the next O.S. But this kext appears to be related to USB and I am running High sierra so this eror has existed for a long period an could be dangerous.

As it is marked as "Loadable: No", I don't think there is a real danger. As your system works without it, you could make a backup of the kext and delete it.
