Audit finding
File upload limit is not associated with upload button
User impact
The issue creates an accessibility barrier in the affected workflow, screen, or component.
Remediation plan
Add the missing text alternative, accessible description, or contextual relationship in markup so the information is exposed clearly to assistive technologies. For example, use aria-describedby to assign the upload limit to the button by referencing the upload limit text’s ID value as the aria-describedby value.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Extensions Installer upload interface within the "Upload Package File" section.
- Locate the upload button and file-size/type limit.
- Inspect their labels and programmatic association.
- Focus the button with a screen reader.
- Observe that the limit is not announced with the control.
Version
6.1
Expected result
File size limit conveyed upon reaching appropriate control, not afterwards.
Actual result
Users of assistive technologies arrive at the button before noticing the upload size limit, which might lead to larger files being uploaded.
