Trapped Source was a challenge in the web category. It’s description says the following:
Intergalactic Ministry of Spies tested Pandora’s movement and intelligence abilities. She found herself locked in a room with no apparent means of escape. Her task was to unlock the door and make her way out. Can you help her in opening the door?
Spawning the docker container and opening the website we see the following page.
Hmmm, what would the pincode be? Lets inspect the source-code.

We see a very interesting <script></script> that configures some variables. One of which is correctPin, the code is set to 8291.

Lets try entering this pincode and see what happens.
Hey that worked! We got the flag. As we can see the title was a tiny hint, Trapped Source and the pincode was “Trapped” in the source.
