Hot on the heels of Joomla 1.5.5 comes Joomla 1.5.6. Looks like this fixes a serious security issue. You should upgrade right away. A quick way to fix this if you use a hosted service to manage your Joomla install (like Fantastico or Installatron) is to patch /components/com_user/models/reset.php. After global $mainframe; on line 113 of reset.php, add:
if(strlen($token) != 32) {
$this->setError(JText::_('INVALID_TOKEN'));
return false;
}
