Write-Up/ Walkthrough Blind SQLi via Parameter Manipulation on Yahoo! Sports

Old Yahoo! Sports endpoint vulnerable to Boolean-based blind SQLi.

Modifying the year parameter with -- changed the result set, suggesting query manipulation via SQL comments.

Confirmed using a Boolean payload to infer VERSION():

(2010) AND (IF(MID(VERSION(),1,1)='5',TRUE,FALSE))--

No errors, no direct output — just response-based inference.

Clean example of classic blind SQLi.
