Non-existent ARIA attribute

WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · EN 301 549 9.4.1.2

An element has the attribute {attr}, which is not part of the specification.

Why it matters

Same as an invented role: the browser discards it silently. These are usually typos (aria-labl, aria-describe) that leave the element without the name or description it was meant to have.

How to fix it

Check the attribute spelling against the WAI-ARIA specification.
