Cookies from different browsers in WowUp Curseforge AppData cookies database file

[c619256]

I came across the WowUp Curseforge cookie database by chance. It seemed strange to me that the file was so large. Actually, the application should only contain cookies that WowUp needs to run properly. Strangely, however, the cookie database also contains cookies that are responsible for Google authentication, for example, even though I am not logged into the application anywhere. In addition, these are stored in a decrypted form (normally cookies are stored encrypted in chromium-based browsers).

In general, this seemed quite strange to me. So I wanted to use the procmon programme to check whether the application was accessing Edge's cookie database and indeed it was. The programme also tries to access cookie databases from other browsers.

As I think this is a very strange behaviour for an application that manages Wow addons, I would like to know if this is an undesired behaviour and if not why the access to cookies of browsers is necessary. It should be noted that only the WowUp Curseforge client exhibits this behaviour. The normal one does not show this behaviour.
