>Hi,
>
> I built a forum meant to be attacked. Not another vulnerable-by-design app — the opposite.
>
> The app is *protected* by client-side E2E encryption. Your goal: extract a flag from a user's encrypted memo. Dumping the DB won't help. Neither will root. The key never leaves the owner's browser.
>
> It's Juice Shop inverted. There, you hunt for bugs someone deliberately planted. Here, nothing is broken on purpose — three defences are claimed to hold, and the point is to prove otherwise.
>
> SelfDataGuard — the memo stays unreadable with full database access and root.
> SelfRecover — authentication holds with no email and no phone at any point.
> SelfModerate — reputation resists coordinated fake accounts.
>
> Concretely: extract the memo, take over an account without its password, read a private message between two other members, or bury someone's reputation. Each objective maps to MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP references.
>
> Three known limits are disclosed up front, so nobody wastes a report on them:
>
> — the login password also derives the wrap key → E2E **at rest**, and it's stated as such
> — offline floor on the memo is ~52 bits behind PBKDF2-600k; Argon2id is on the roadmap — the SU console is a sandbox, its password is public on purpose
>
> Rules of engagement are public: explicit scope, safe harbor, coordinated disclosure at 90 days. The report form is E2E encrypted — the module you're testing protects your report too.
>
> No bounty, no company behind it. AGPL-3.0, one maintainer, and a hall of fame that's still empty.
