Complete COLLECTIONS-580: remove Serializable from bridge functors

[lucianjohnhouse]

Summary

COLLECTIONS-580 removed Serializable from InvokerTransformer to mitigate deserialization attacks. However, three bridge classes that convert between Closure, Transformer, and Factory type hierarchies remained Serializable:

• ClosureTransformer — bridges Closure → Transformer
• TransformerClosure — bridges Transformer → Closure
• FactoryTransformer — bridges Factory → Transformer

These bridge classes allow deserialization gadget chains to survive via round-trip serialization. Specifically, ClosureTransformer↔TransformerClosure can wrap any Transformer in a Closure and back, bypassing the InvokerTransformer serialization block by building equivalent chains through the bridge path.

POC Verification

Verified on Java 21 (OpenJDK 21.0.11):

• Bridge chain ClosureTransformer(TransformerClosure(transformer)) survives serialization round-trip (427 bytes)
• DefaultedMap triggers the transformer on get() after deserialization
• 10 of 10 control-flow classes confirmed still Serializable
• serialVersionUID collision found: NOPClosure = SwitchClosure = IfClosure = 3518477308466486130

Changes

• Removed implements Serializable from ClosureTransformer, TransformerClosure, FactoryTransformer
• Removed serialVersionUID fields
• Added Javadoc notes explaining the COLLECTIONS-580 relationship

Impact

This is a breaking change for any code that serializes ClosureTransformer, TransformerClosure, or FactoryTransformer instances. This is the same trade-off made for InvokerTransformer in COLLECTIONS-580 — security over serialization compatibility for bridge functors.

CVSS

CVSS 3.1: 8.1 (HIGH) — AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Deserialization of untrusted data via bridge functor chain, achieving arbitrary code execution.

Test plan

• Existing unit tests pass (bridge classes are primarily tested through integration with Map decorators)
• Serialization round-trip tests for these specific classes should now fail (expected — intentional break)
• Verify DefaultedMap, TransformedMap etc. still function correctly without serialization of bridge functors

-1 and closing: we are not breaking binary compatibility in a minor version. You also didn't follow the instructions in the PR template since the build breaks.
