What are the steps to reproduce?

Nothing very special, just load the file and save it (without even changing anything) like that:

<php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory;

$filename = 'Amazon.CPF.empty';
$filePath = "input/$filename.xlsx";
$spreadsheet = IOFactory::load($filePath);

$xlsWriter = IOFactory::createWriter($spreadsheet, IOFactory::WRITER_XLSX);
$xlsWriter->save($filePathOutput = "output/$filename.xlsx");

If this is an issue with reading and writing a specific spreadsheet file: Amazon CPF empty.xlsx

The reported problem is fixed by PR #3659, which has just been merged. I am leaving the issue open because loading and saving the spreadsheet isn't quite perfect, in particular some dropdowns are lost.

Interesting case. Data Validations and Conditional Styles can each be supplied in the Xml in either "external" or "internal" formats. The code for each to handle "external" assumes that each is the only "external" item on the worksheet in the Xml, but some of the worksheets in the sample spreadsheet provide both as "external" on some sheets. I will work on a solution.
