Description
The CommonPasswordValidator holds a set of common passwords in memory, after strip()ing any whitespace.
While validating a password, it converts it to lowercase before comparing to the set. However, the reference set was not converted to lowercase.
This is not a problem when using the default set of common passwords, as they have been preprocessed to be lowercase. However, there is nothing in the documentation indicating this preprocessing should occur.
