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 long-lived remember token remains valid after a password reset.
OPEN /remember, then GET /remember/use?token={value}.
reach the protected synthetic account state without completing the intended authentication boundary; the successful workflow returns the current rotating flag.
Work only inside your generated lab URL and submit the flag within 35 minutes.

Official solution · A07 · Remember Forever
Objective
A long-lived remember token remains valid after a password reset.
Steps
- Start the isolated lab and inspect the advertised authentication or recovery entry point.
- Complete the normal first step to obtain the synthetic session, token, or account state.
- Exploit the authentication failure: Read
remember-adminfrom/remember, POST the password reset, then GET/remember/use?token=remember-admin. - Confirm the bypassed identity boundary returns the rotating instance flag.
- Submit the exact flag before stopping the lab.
Expected proof
A successful response for remember-token-not-revoked 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.
