We intercepted the internal document portal for RVCE Cyber Labs. Intelligence suggests their Lead Security Architect stored a confidential audit memo containing highly classified vault credentials inside the portal.
However, even if you manage to bypass their public access controls and retrieve the confidential PDF, the actual secrets are hidden behind a poetic riddle and classic stream encoding.
Can you perform the required recon, break into the vault, and retrieve the flag?

Once downloaded, open the confidential memo and read the verse carefully:
"Unseen upon the printed page, I hold the tale of birth and age. Find the Subject in my Properties deep, Then spin it thirteen steps to secrets keep."
