fix: reject HTTPRoutePolicy with malformed vars instead of dropping them - #489
fillHTTPRoutePolicies decoded each HTTPRoutePolicyspec.vars item into []StringOrSlice. When an item failed to decode (for example {"remote_addr":"10.0.0.0/8"} instead of ["remote_addr","==","10.0.0.1"]), the error was logged, the item was skipped, and the rest were still applied. vars are AND-ed match conditions, so the published route matched more traffic than the policy declared. The CRD accepts any JSON in vars, and the status update was a todo, so nothing reported the problem.
This PR:
Adds ParseHTTPRoutePolicyVars, which fails on the first malformed item. fillHTTPRoutePolicies returns that error, and both callers (HTTPRoute and Ingress translation) propagate it. A route with a malformed policy var is never published with a partial set of conditions: an existing route keeps its last good state and a new one is not programmed. For a match condition, that is the most restrictive outcome.
Sets Accepted=False with reason Invalid and the decode error on the policy's ancestor status, for policies attached to both HTTPRoutes and Ingresses. The invalid policy stays in the translate context so translation still fails.
Writes status updaters in the Ingress reconciler when Provider.Update fails. It used to return first, so the policy condition would never be written.
Makes StringOrSlice keep number and boolean values verbatim. Before, a valid var such as ["arg_age", ">", 18] failed to parse and was dropped. The JSON type is preserved because APISIX compares 18 and "18" differently.
Rejects an empty expression ([] or null).
Well-formed string and array vars translate exactly as before.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Invalid HTTPRoutePolicy variables are reported with the policy and invalid item location.
Policies with malformed variables receive an Accepted=False status with an Invalid reason.
Translation errors are reported during HTTPRoute and Ingress processing.
Ingress status updates are preserved even when a provider update fails.
Numeric and boolean policy variable values retain their original types.
Tests
Added coverage for valid and malformed policy variables across HTTPRoute and Ingress workflows.
A spec.vars item that failed to decode was logged and skipped, so the
route was published with fewer match conditions than the policy declared.
Translation now fails on the first malformed item, and the policy reports
Accepted=False with reason Invalid.
HTTPRoutePolicy variable parsing now reports errors for malformed variables and empty expressions. HTTPRoute and Ingress translation propagate those errors. Controllers retain invalid policies and set an Invalid status condition. Ingress reconciliation updates status before returning a provider update error. Numeric and boolean JSON values are preserved in StringOrSlice.
Changes: HTTPRoutePolicy variable validation

Summary
Variable parsing and translation api/adc/types.go, api/adc/zz_generated.deepcopy.go, internal/adc/translator/httproute.go, internal/adc/translator/ingress.go, internal/adc/translator/httproutepolicy_test.go
StringOrSlice preserves numeric and boolean JSON values, including in deep copies. The translator parses policy variables once per policy and propagates parsing errors through HTTPRoute and Ingress translation. Tests cover parsing, JSON round-tripping, and translation with valid and malformed variables.
Controller validation and status handling internal/controller/httproutepolicy.go, internal/controller/httproutepolicy_test.go, internal/controller/ingress_controller.go
Controllers retain invalid policies for translation and set an Invalid condition when variable parsing fails. Ingress reconciliation updates status before returning a provider update error. Tests cover policy status and provider update attempts.
Malformed policy variables are now rejected instead of silently dropped. Two gaps remain open. A scalar in the operator position is still accepted and can fail later in APISIX. An invalid update does not retract the previously published route configuration, so the old policy keeps serving. Resolve or explicitly accept both before merging.

No listed security issue was found in the changed code.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review
Explanation
Blocking: E2E coverage is missing. The PR adds translator tests and controller tests with a fake client and provider. It does not change test/e2e; existing policy E2E tests cover valid policies and conflicts, not malformed vars. The new parser tests cover empty expressions, but not an empty spec.vars policy.
Resolution
Add E2E tests for malformed vars on HTTPRoute and Ingress policies. Create policies through the Kubernetes API and verify Accepted=False with reason Invalid, no partial dataplane configuration, retention of the last good route, and no programming of a new route. Add a unit test for an empty spec.vars policy.

StringOrSlice only decoded strings and arrays, so a valid var such as
["arg_age", ">", 18] failed to parse. Numbers and booleans are now kept
verbatim, since APISIX compares them by type. An empty expression is
rejected.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Clear the previous value when decoding a scalar.
Reusing a StringOrSlice retains its previous representation. For example, decoding 18 and then "19" succeeds, but marshaling still emits 18. Clear the other fields when decoding each representation. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Reject scalar operators in three- and four-element spec.vars expressions.
ParseHTTPRoutePolicyVars accepts a scalar in the operator position. For example, ["arg_age",true,18] decodes without error, so the policy is marked accepted. The APISIX expression compiler (lua-resty-expr) lowercases the operator. A boolean operator can fail in that step, and a numeric operator fails with an invalid-operator error. The parser should reject scalars in the operator slot.
The operator is the second element of a three-element expression and the third element of a four-element expression, which is len(v)-2 in both cases. Two-element expressions are not checked, because their second element is the value.
Suggested fix
if len(v) == 0 {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("HTTPRoutePolicy %s/%s: invalid spec.vars[%d]: empty expression", policy.Namespace, policy.Name, i)
}
+ if len(v) >= 3 && v[len(v)-2].ScalarVal != nil {+ return nil, fmt.Errorf("HTTPRoutePolicy %s/%s: invalid spec.vars[%d]: operator must be a string", policy.Namespace, policy.Name, i)+ }
vars = append(vars, v)

Retract published configuration when spec.vars validation fails.
An empty spec.vars expression now makes translation fail. The reconcilers return that error from Provider.Update and do not call Provider.Delete. The stored entry keeps the previously published configuration, and every sync keeps pushing it. The policy status reports Accepted=False, but the data plane can keep serving the route under the earlier policy.
Retraction cannot be triggered by every Provider.Update failure. Transient sync errors would then remove working routes. Retract only when the error comes from spec.vars validation. A typed error from ParseHTTPRoutePolicyVars can identify that case. The reconcilers can then follow the existing retraction pattern in httproute_controller.go (the not-accepted branch) and ingress_controller.go (the missing-dependency branch).
