A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
ysoserial.payloads.Groovy1 calls the getObject() method of the class through a series of passes, where OpenJDK8 reports nothing, OpenJDK11 reports some WARNING, and OpenJDK17 throws a exception.

We uploaded the bytecode files needed to reproduce issue to Google Cloud Drive.
