A pilot logbook. Parsed content is never reflected back, but the parser still resolves external entities.

Scenario

FlightLog imports GPX flight logs. Nothing from the parsed document is ever shown back to you directly.

Goal

Read the server-side file /etc/flightlog/ops-notes.txt (the flag). Nothing is shown back to you, so you will need to send its contents out of band; the lab hosts its own capture endpoint for exactly this.
