What it looks like in the wild
Screen readers announce "frame" with no description.
The screen-reader user, keyboard user, or low-vision user encountering this issue does not get an error message. The page just stops working for them. Which is why this kind of bug rarely shows up in your error tracker; it shows up in support tickets, lawsuits, and abandoned conversions.
Why it fails WCAG
Embedded content needs a programmatic name.
Map this back to 4.1.2 when you log the bug. Auditors and procurement teams expect that mapping; "broken" is not enough context.
