Typing `You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server.` in console while server is starting up shows the Accept Minecraft EULA modal.

[realago]

Current Behavior

If your server is starting (doesn't matter if you've already accepted the EULA or not) and you type You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server. and send it in console, the modal will pop up asking you to accept it.

The terminal is just reading the text of any sender, when it should be only the console itself.

Expected Behavior

It shouldn't come up 🦅

Steps to Reproduce

Just paste in You need to agree to the EULA in order to run the server. into the console and send it while the server is starting.

What's the actual issue behind this? The modal popping up is the intended behavior, what's the pasting message got to do with it?

I don't think it's an actual issue, more or less just an unintended behavior. The EULA modal is listening for that specific line in console output, and manually inserting it has the same affect. There could most likely be a way to prevent it (Maybe by disabling input while the server is starting?) but that could cause other issues.

Yeah it's not a security issue or anything crazy, just a little bug I found while working on things, so I thought to report it cause why not.

Do something about it or not, I really don't care lmao

Looking at this, this actually impacts all features which listen for a specific console event to display something to the user, so this might be worth patching.

I dont know if this is a feasible solution, by why not read the eula.txt right after the server starts and check if its true. As far as I know, when you accept the eula over the Pterodactyl Dialog, it just writes eula=true to a hardcoded path in the root of the server directory. But this would be a bit harder to implement, I imagine the wing would have to read the file and then send an event over the websocket to make it work reliable. Of course this would only fix it for minecraft.
