|Yes, i think you're right :-D it looks very simular to this: - If Exim
was configured to recognize tags in the local part of the recipient's
address (via "local_part_suffix = +* : -*" for example), then a remote
attacker can simply reuse our local-exploitation method with an RCPT TO
"*balrog+${run{...}}@*localhost" (where "balrog" is the name of a local
user).|

I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.
I said I didn't know.
