The scrolling attribute on the iframe element is obsolete. Use CSS instead.

I believe I reported this a couple of years ago, or made a suggestion to upgrade this, but it is still an issue. Whenever someone shares an article on my site the iFrame tags that are embedded insert this obsolete html tag: scrolling="no"

I am not sure about other sites, but with mine we share lots of the articles, so this error is an issue with SEO, and you can see examples of it here:

Is this something you are aware of, and working on?

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

I have updated my site to 4.7, yet the scrolling="no" is still present, and the error is still there:

A look at view source for:

Shows:

I did a small test, and it seems that simply removing:
scrolling="no

seems to eliminate the errors, and I see no downside to this approach. Do you have any concerns with using this approach?
