The dialogs had an empty `aria-label` attribute and lacked appropriate `aria-labelledby` or `aria-describedby` references to the dialog body content. As a result, screen reader users could not hear the message or question presented in these dialogs, making it difficult to respond to confirmation prompts or understand alert messages. + +In {productname} {release-version}, alert and confirm dialogs now include proper ARIA attributes that reference the dialog content. Screen readers announce the dialog message when the dialog opens, providing an accessible experience for all users. + [[security-fixes]] == Security fixes
