RoslynAnalyzers Potential reference cycle in deserialized object graph

Review code that processes untrusted deserialized data for handling of unexpected reference cycles. An unexpected reference cycle should not cause the code to enter an infinite loop. Otherwise, an unexpected reference cycle can allow an attacker to DOS or exhaust the memory of the process when deserializing untrusted data.
