MISSIONDiscover the weakness independently

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

FLAG REQUIREMENTS

What counts as a valid solve

Goal

Inspect a deployed source map that includes a build-time secret and hidden endpoint.

Required interaction

GET /static/app.js, then GET /static/app.js.map.

Completion proof

prove that the deployed configuration exposes the protected synthetic value or privileged operation; the successful workflow returns the current rotating flag.

Session rule

Work only inside your generated lab URL and submit the flag within 25 minutes.

Official solution · A02 · Mapped Secrets

Objective

Inspect a deployed source map that includes a build-time secret and hidden endpoint.

Steps

  1. Start the isolated lab and inspect the root page for the intended diagnostic or configuration surface.
  2. Enumerate only the synthetic endpoint named by the scenario; no external target is required.
  3. Send: GET /static/app.js, follow sourceMappingURL, then GET /static/app.js.map
  4. Confirm the response exposes the misconfiguration and contains the rotating flag field (or embeds it in the returned synthetic artifact).
  5. Submit the flag on the SecOne4all challenge page.

Expected proof

A successful response for source-map-secret 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.
