Missing password validation message on registration form
85% confidence

"SUMMARY": "Missing password validation message on registration form",
"BUG_DESCRIPTION": "The registration form's password validation feature is broken. When an invalid password 'abcdefg' is entered (missing required special characters, capital letters, and numbers), the expected validation message '*Please enter 1 Special Character, 1 Capital 1, Numeric 1 Small' does not appear. The test correctly submits the form with intentionally invalid data to trigger validation, but the error message area remains completely blank. The automation is correctly looking for the validation message but receives an empty string instead, indicating the message element exists but contains no text.",
"IMPACT": "Users attempting to register with weak passwords will not receive feedback about password requirements, leading to confusion and repeated failed registration attempts. This could result in user frustration, increased support tickets, and potential abandonment of the registration process. Security standards may also be compromised if users cannot understand the password complexity requirements.",
"CONFIDENCE": 85,
"ROOT_CAUSE": "The password validation message is not being displayed despite the form submission with invalid password data. The most likely cause is that the client-side validation logic is either not being triggered properly or the validation function is failing silently without populating the error message element. The DOM element for displaying the error appears to exist (returning empty string rather than null), but the validation logic is not writing the error text to it. This points to a JavaScript validation handler issue rather than a missing element problem.",
