why is this line not highlighted?

Defaults authfail_message="message"

If it is okay not to be highlighted, I wonder what standard it is decided on.

Congratulations, you have found a bug in an open source program.

The parameter authfail_message is indeed missing from Vim's default syntax script for sudoers.

Now, you have four options:

  1. shrug it off,
  2. or fix it locally and keep it for you (see :help syntax),
  3. or contribute a fix as per these guidelines,
  4. or open an issue in Vim's issue tracker and let others deal with it.

If you go with 2, 3, or 4, consider checking if other parameters are missing.
