What does this mean: "extraction of KeePass 2.x password database information from memory"?

When is KeePass data held in memory? When the program is simply running or only when you copy a password to the clipboard?

KeePass shows accounts in a ListView type of control and in a dialog, both of which probably store the data in memory. I'm just wondering if this tool can snatch accounts just from simply having KeePass running, in which case this could be bad for malware/spyware. Picture a malware program running, waits for KeePass to show up in the process list, grabs all your accounts and sends them to a remote site. Yikes.
