Title: Authentication Failures in Audit Log
Post by: guest47174 on August 07, 2024, 12:06:07 AM
Seeing the following message in System - Log Files - Audit

"user \x1b[A\x1b[A could not authenticate for login. [using OPNsense\Auth\Services\System + OPNsense\Auth\Local]"

Not sure if this could be a bug or if I should be concerned about a compromise attempt.

Can anyone add any context to this ? the username looks like an ANSI escape sequence

This is easily reproduceable by hitting the up-arrow key twice at the console login prompt.  Then press enter twice.
The username will be shown in the audit log like you've stated.
