Grouping the common warnings in a "Security Considerations" section sounds OK, but the warnings should still be visible IMHO.

In my experience, people:
 1) jump right to the doc for the function they are using;
 2) read the example and try to figure out how it works;
 3) if that fails, they read the text.

An inline text with a simple link might then pass unnoticed.  OTOH littering the doc with red boxes is far too noticeable.  Maybe we should use something in between (e.g. a "lighter" CSS for the warnings or a small warning icon).
