Add Input Validation to Credit Card Fields for Better Security

Security Analyzer

What is this warning?

A field that appears to collect credit card information lacks proper input validation patterns. This can lead to invalid data being submitted and may indicate insufficient client-side validation. While server-side validation is most important, proper client-side patterns help improve user experience and provide an additional layer of data integrity.

How to Fix This Issue

       maxlength="19" 
       placeholder="1234 5678 9012 3456"
