Fixes https://github.com/TreyWW/MyFinances/security/code-scanning/19
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the
NEXTparameter is validated before being used in a redirect. We can use Django'surl_has_allowed_host_and_schemefunction to check that the URL is safe to redirect to. This function ensures that the URL does not contain an explicit host name and is within the allowed hosts.url_has_allowed_host_and_schemefunction fromdjango.utils.http.NEXTparameter before redirecting.NEXTparameter is not valid, redirect to a safe default URL, such as the dashboard.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
