Stains/Damage On Wall From Unknown Source – How do fix it?

Hello – Just the other day I noticed that outside the our frenchdoors to the backyard there is a pretty gnarly stain that is coming on the wall, which was previously hiding under our curtains location. Based on some initial research it ‘appears’ that this isn’t water damage due to the actual location not being soft to the touch but I have no idea how this occured. Could this be a draft coming in through the doors and getting caught up in the curtains location by chance? Really looking for some advice on how to fix it without just painting over it and pretending it wasn’t there (Because that’s what 20 year old me would have done haha).

IMO that's water damage
Higher stain near door, stain lowers and continues along bottom of baseboard to the right.
Where are you located, cold might cause condensation.
Hard driving rain might enter the bottom corner of the door/jamb.
Wait for a good storm and see if the rug feels damp. Or garden hose it outside.
MDF trims I’ve seen wick and stain moisture like that.
How’s the left side of the door unit?
