The redirect() method is open to open redirects if user input is directly passed as parameter. This is of course as intended, and most people would know directly passing user input is never wise, but I think that warning developers can not be done enough.

I hope this message is clear, but please let me know of any better wording or if the tip context is the right one to use here.

👍 I agree with this because the Symfony Docs has always been about making our readers better developers, not only better Symfony developers.

I propose to display this as a caution instead of a tip and to remove the explicit reference to OWASP. If you don't agree with these changes, please tell us. Thanks!

Warn user about open redirects

The `redirect()` method is open to open redirects if user input is directly passed as parameter. This is of course as intended, and most people would know directly passing user input is never wise, but I think that warning developers can not be done enough.

I hope this message is clear, but please let me know of any better wording or if the `tip` context is the right one to use here.
