Severity:
=========
Low

Details:
========
Multiple client side cross site scripting vulnerabilities are detected on Microsofts Afkar Service Website.
The vulnerability allows an attacker (remote) to hijack customer/moderator/admin sessions with medium required user inter 
action. Successful exploitation can result in account steal or client side context manipulation when processing affected module
application requests.

Vulnerable Module(s): 
						[+] autocompleterservice
						[+] transliterateservice
						[+] getprayers
