Ok, according to the responsible company:
"CLSID [...] refer[s] to a 128-bit integer with a low statistical likelihood
of being duplicated so that it can be used as a unique identifier across
computers and networks. Typically, this identifier is represented either as a
16-member array of bytes or as a specially formatted string of hexadecimal
digits (where the characters a-f, or A-F, represent the decimal numbers
10-15). This string representation consists of either 32 contiguous
hexadecimal digits or of groups of 8, 4, 4, 4, and 12 hexadecimal digits,
separated by hyphens. The hyphenated string representation optionally can be
enclosed in parentheses or braces ({})."

So I guess we need sth. like
\{[0-9a-f]{8}(-[0-9a-f]{4}){3}-[0-9a-f]{12}\}
