PHP filter abuse leading to RCE.

To start this challenge, I immediately noticed that the site was vulnerable to the same exploitation as Inclusion. For example, the payload /index.php?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=welcome yielded the following output:
However, this time I was not able to render index.php, and there was no flag.php in sight. This meant we had to get a little more creative. Judging by the name, it seemed that we needed to get RCE.
After scraping the interwebs, I was able to get RCE using the exploit found here.
I used the script found here to generate an adequate payload. I was initially having issues providing an entire OS command since there are limitations on URL size, so I went with the following:
python3 php_filter_chain_generator.py --chain '<?php system($_REQUEST['pwn']); ?>'
This yielded the following payload, which I used in combination with the parameter pwn set to ls to test:

Nice, it works. Next step was to get a shell. I used https://www.revshells.com/ to generate a reverse shell, triggered the exploit, and caught the shell:
