CrowdSec — Exim parser silently skips authentication failures
| Vendor | CrowdSec |
|---|---|
| Product | Exim log parser |
| Weakness | CWE-778 |
| Reported | 2026-06-24 |
| Disclosed | 2026-06-24 |
| Status | Vendor fixed |
The grok pattern required a set_id capture group that authentication-failure lines never contain, so brute-force attempts against Exim produced no events at all. Fixed by making the group optional, which stays backwards compatible with the existing parser assertions.
Impact
A detection gap: credential brute-force against Exim generated no alerts.
