To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the redirection URL is validated before it is used. Since request.path is intended to redirect the user back to the same page, we can use Django's url_has_allowed_host_and_scheme function to validate the URL. This function checks that the URL is safe to redirect to by ensuring it does not contain an explicit host name and is within the allowed hosts.
We will modify the code to validate request.path before using it in the redirect. If the validation fails, we will redirect the user to a safe default URL (e.g., the home page).
