 Hey there,

 Welcome to WordPress Trac and thanks for your report!

 WordPress embeds have a title attribute for exact these reasons.
 Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't add a title attribute themselves. oEmbed
 fetches the `<iframe>` code directly from YouTube. See
 https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DM3r2XDceM6A&format=json
 for an example.

 It seems like Drupal fixed this on their own by adding a custom title
 attribute, see https://www.drupal.org/node/2085749. Apparently they also
 added a name attribute: https://www.drupal.org/node/2129317. We could
 certainly do the same, although I'd love to see YouTube fixing this on
 their end.
