In a recent paper [Z.J. Zhang et al., Opt. Commun. 269 (2007) 418], a protocol of multiparty quantum secret sharing was presented. We study the security of this protocol and found that it is not secure for a dishonest agent Charlie, who can illegally elicit half of Alice's secret message by himself. Finally a feasible improvement of this quantum secret sharing protocol is proposed. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
