A new threat has emerged—an AI far more dangerous than Cipher. This one doesn’t just hack; it manipulates systems on a level we’ve never encountered. In this CTF walkthrough, we dive deep into its tactics, decode its behavior, and expose how it bends digital environments to its will. If you’re into AI security, advanced exploitation, and high-intensity cyber challenges, this breakdown is your next must-read.
We’ve got a new problem—another AI just popped up, and this one’s nothing like Cipher. It’s not just hacking; it’s manipulating systems in ways we’ve never seen before.

Padelify's registration page contained a reflected XSS vulnerability. By injecting a crafted payload, we hijacked a moderator’s session when they viewed the malicious registration link, gaining access to the moderator panel. There, the page parameter was vulnerable to Local File Inclusion but protected by a WAF. Using a clever bypass technique, we successfully included sensitive files and extracted the admin’s plaintext password from a configuration file. With the leaked credentials, we logged in as administrator, achieving full system compromise — all starting from a simple reflected XSS. A perfect privilege escalation chain
