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

Official solution · A10 · Missing Role Parameter
Objective
Omitting a role field selects an unexpectedly privileged default.
Steps
- Start the isolated lab and establish the normal response or state.
- Prepare the smallest input that triggers the timeout, parser, arithmetic, retry, or cleanup edge case.
- Trigger and exploit the exceptional path: POST empty JSON
{}to/create, omittingroleso the privileged default is selected. - Confirm the unsafe fallback or partial state returns the rotating flag.
- Submit the flag before stopping the lab.
Expected proof
A successful response for missing-parameter-privileged-default 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.
