Descriptions

components/com_user/models/reset.php in Joomla! 1.5 through 1.5.5 does not properly validate reset tokens, which allows remote attackers to reset the "first enabled user (lowest id)" password, typically for the administrator.

componentes/com_user/modelos/reset.php en Joomla! 1.5.5 no restringe adecuadamente el acceso, lo que permite a atacantes remotos reiniciar la contraseña del "primer usuario creado (con id más bajo)", por lo general la del administrador.
