Comment:

 Hello @smit08, thank you for the ticket and patch,

 However, I think it may be a false positive: since this input has the
 `hidden` class, it is hidden from the user agent. Then I guess we don't
 need a label for this hidden field. Plus, adding a label to an invisible
 field would probably generate another even worst accessibility issue :)
