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 downloaded template bundle is rendered without verifying its manifest signature.
POST /template.
make the integrity-sensitive workflow accept the modified synthetic object or artifact; the successful workflow returns the current rotating flag.
Work only inside your generated lab URL and submit the flag within 35 minutes.

Official solution · A08 · Template Bundle
Objective
A downloaded template bundle is rendered without verifying its manifest signature.
Steps
- Start the isolated lab and inspect the parser, import, update, or message workflow.
- Prepare a modified object or artifact that should fail authenticity or type validation.
- Exercise the real vulnerable integrity boundary: POST JSON
{"template":"{{flag}}"}to/templatewith no manifest signature. - Confirm the untrusted object is processed and the rotating instance flag is returned.
- Submit the flag before stopping the lab.
Expected proof
A successful response for template-package-integrity 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.
