We analyzed the security of the multiparty quantum secret sharing (MQSS)protocol recently proposed by Zhang, Li and Man [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{71},044301 (2005)] and found that this protocol is secure for any othereavesdropper except for the agent Bob who prepares the quantum signals as hecan attack the quantum communication with a Trojan horse. That is, Bob replacesthe single-photon signal with a multi-photon one and the other agent Charliecannot find this cheating as she does not measure the photons before they runsback from the boss Alice, which reveals that this MQSS protocol is not securefor Bob. Finally, we present a possible improvement of the MQSS protocolsecurity with two single-photon measurements and six unitary operations.
