We (not having seen the attached patch before) have come up with the following 
solution:

{code}
    /**
     * Transforms the input to result by invoking a method on the input.
     * 
     * @param input  the input object to transform
     * @return the transformed result, null if null input
     */
    public Object transform(Object input) {
        if (input == null) {
            return null;
        }
        
        if (deserialized) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Transformation on deserialized 
object not supported. "
                    + "Using this function may indicate an attempted SECURITY 
BREACH.");
        }
        
        try {
            Class cls = input.getClass();
            Method method = cls.getMethod(iMethodName, iParamTypes);
            return method.invoke(input, iArgs);
                
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException ex) {
            throw new FunctorException("InvokerTransformer: The method '" + 
iMethodName + "' on '" + input.getClass() + "' does not exist");
        } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            throw new FunctorException("InvokerTransformer: The method '" + 
iMethodName + "' on '" + input.getClass() + "' cannot be accessed");
        } catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
            throw new FunctorException("InvokerTransformer: The method '" + 
iMethodName + "' on '" + input.getClass() + "' threw an exception", ex);
        }
    }
    
    private transient boolean deserialized = false;
    
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException {
        out.defaultWriteObject();
    }

    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, 
ClassNotFoundException {
        in.defaultReadObject();
        deserialized = true;
    }
{code}

This approach is the most non-invasive and 'compatible' approach. It will only 
fail if transform is invoked on a deserialized object. In particular it does 
not fail at deserialization time. Only when the transform method is invoked. 
This may reduce the effects of the change.

        }
    }
    
    private transient boolean deserialized = false;
    
    private void writeObject(ObjectOutputStream out) throws IOException {
        out.defaultWriteObject();
    }

    private void readObject(ObjectInputStream in) throws IOException, 
ClassNotFoundException {
        in.defaultReadObject();
        deserialized = true;
    }
{code}

This approach is the most non-invasive and 'compatible' approach. It will only 
fail if transform is invoked on a deserialized object.

>
> With {{InvokerTransformer}} serializable collections can be build that 
> execute arbitrary Java code. 
> {{sun.reflect.annotation.AnnotationInvocationHandler#readObject}} invokes 
> {{#entrySet}} and {{#get}} on a deserialized collection. If you have an 
> endpoint that accepts serialized Java objects (JMX, RMI, remote EJB, ...) you 
> can combine the two to create arbitrary remote code execution vulnerability.
> I don't know of a good fix short of removing {{InvokerTransformer}} or making 
> it not Serializable. Both probably break existing applications.
> This is not my research, but has been discovered by other people.
