Description

Spring Security should add support for serialize/deserialize PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions with ObjectMapper so it is easier to persist with Spring Session.

NOTE: WebauthnJackson2Module is used for reading/writing to the HTTP Response which includes untrusted inputs. This means that it cannot enable default-typing otherwise it could create deserialization vulnerabilities.

Research direction

Start by reading the WebauthnJackson2Module and its ObjectMapper integration, then trace how PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions is handled for HTTP responses and Spring Session persistence. Done means the type can be serialized and deserialized for persistence without enabling default typing, preserving the security constraint for untrusted HTTP inputs.
