Explore the application as a real target: map the exposed functionality, inspect requests and responses, build a working exploit, and recover the rotating flag. If you get stuck, the verified official solution is available below as an optional spoiler.
Rules of engagement
Stay inside the generated lab URL. Use only the synthetic accounts and data in this instance. The main SecOne4all site and external systems are out of scope.
Challenge brief
What counts as a valid solve
A GraphQL child resolver exposes a private object after the parent resolver passed authorization.
POST /graphql.
prove that the protected synthetic resource or action can be reached outside the intended account boundary; the successful workflow returns the current rotating flag.
Work only inside your generated lab URL and submit the flag within 45 minutes.

Objective
A GraphQL child resolver exposes a private object after the parent resolver passed authorization.
Steps
- Start the isolated lab and open its root page to confirm the scenario.
- Review the advertised starting endpoint and compare the trusted identity or object with the target described in the challenge.
- Send: POST /graphql with JSON {"query":"{ project(id:21){ privateDocument } }"}
- Confirm the JSON response contains the rotating
flagfield. - Submit that exact flag on the SecOne4all challenge page before stopping or expiring the instance.
Expected proof
A successful response for graphql-nested-bola returns the instance-specific rotating flag. The flag is valid only for the current player and running instance.
Safety boundary
Use only the generated lab URL. No request to the main site, another user, or an external service is part of this solution.
