This news https://www.wowhead.com/news/windows-defender-wrongly-flagging-wow-addons-as-trojans-323858 show some other addons have same issue.

Scanning this bcc alpha with file from https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/weakauras-2/files, windows defender don't raise any warning for me,

Maybe this trigger only with files downloaded from curseforge app / overwolf ?
