R&D database exploit

[mullvad]

Bug Description:

/obj/machinery/computer/WYresearch/Topic spawns an alert() but it does not verify if the usr is still allowed to process this alert.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run up to the R&D console
2. Reset the database but keep the popup open.
3. Run away or die.
4. Hit the button.
5. BWOINK!

Had this tested. Unable to recreate.

Unless this happens again, asking this to be locked.

This still works.

Code: Select all

	else if(href_list["reset"]) // <-- This is called when you hit the reset button.
		var/choice = alert("R&D Console Database Reset", "Are you sure you want to reset the R&D console's database? Data lost cannot be recovered.", "Continue", "Cancel") // <-- This is the alert that pops up
		if(choice == "Continue") // <-- This is missing proper checks to ensure the player is still there.
			screen = 0.0
			del(files)
			files = new /datum/research(src)
			spawn(20)
				screen = 1.6
				updateUsrDialog()

I attempted to reset the console and didn't receive the confirmation prompt.
