Because the Java serialization filter is consulted for every class in the graph (and depth == 1 only for the root's concrete class), the allowlist constrains only the root and leaves the entire nested graph unchecked.

OpenAM: Pre-auth RCE via Java Deserialization in WebAuthn Authenticator Storage

Description A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) exists in OpenAM's WebAuthn authentication module. Under certain conditions, this may allow an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the application server. This affects OpenAM Community Edition through version 16.0.6 and was patched in version 16.1.1. This is not the default configuration. Exploitation requires that an attacker has previously been able to write attacker-controlled data to a storage …
