The source leaked. Read it like an attacker, chain the flaws, and shell the door-control server.

IronHold is retiring its inmate-management platform. Somewhere in the handover, a developer pushed the complete repository to a public mirror and then left the company. Facility security wants a straight answer before the system goes dark for good: if that repository is out there, how far could someone actually get?

We start with nothing but what leaked: the full, unredacted source, and a live copy of the application still running on the network. No credentials, no map, no walkthrough. The code tells us what the developers got wrong; the running instance tells us if we're right.

Get all four and Ironhold's last system goes down the same way it went up: on its own mistakes.
