Resolution

By watching HTTP headers during the page loading, we can see an unusual header : ‘Debug: –‘.
With some tests we understood it was containing ‘<header http referer>’, but why this dash at the beginning?
Logically, we put as referer http://challenge.cybercamp.es:8084/gallery/, because it seems to be the base URL of the gallery: when we try to load this folder, we got a “gallery not available” message.
Obviously, it would have been too easy, putting this referer doesn’t give the flag.
After trying to put a lot of strings in this unusual header (actually almost other headers), an idea came to us: and if we had to pass something in the URL?
The base URL is ‘gallery/image.php?image=8123914′, but 8123914 doesn’t seem to be an image name. Maybe this GET parameter isn’t the name of the file, but only an ID?

Changing the URL by gallery/image.php?id=8123914 with http://challenge.cybercamp.es:8084/gallery/ in the Debug referer gave us the flag.
