Research direction

Start by tracing query-parameter parsing and validation for the supplied OpenAPI schema with style deepObject and explode false. Check how /fruits?abcd[a]=1 and /fruits?abcd=1 are currently handled, then add or update coverage so the accepted and rejected cases match the issue's expected behavior.

Does openapi-core provide support for deep Object in query params
Below i have my schema specifying parameters

    parameters
       [
          {
            "name": "abcd",
            "in": "query",
            "description": "Parameters",
            "explode": false,
            "style": "deepObject",
            "schema": {
              "type": "object",
              "properties": {
                "a": {
                  "type": "number"
                },
                "b": {
                  "type": "number"
                }
              }
            }
          }
        ]

example:
according to this
urls of the type /fruits?abcd[a]=1 should be accepted
and urls of type /fruits?abcd=1 should throw error
