Solution: Set the title of a page to: <
And then go to the Home page. An alert will show up with this flag.

I found it by mistake. I was trying random things and suddenly when I went on the home page, the flag popped up.
I then tried to figure out what caused this flag to appear and found that it was the title of the page. I tried different inputs to see what could make it appear, I found that '<' was the minimal thing I could do.
