I had a similar problem recently (see http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/26079/how-do-i-stop-drupal-checking-for-updates-for-a-specific-module) and managed to get around it using [`hook_update_projects_alter()`][1]. You can use it to easily remove any module that you don't want to be part of the update process: function MYMODULE_update_projects_alter(&$projects) { $blacklist = array( 'sharethis', // Any others you might want ); foreach ($blacklist as $module) { unset($projects[$module]); } } As Drupal no longer considers any module you put in the `$blacklist` array as one that needs to be updated, you should stop getting the security warning. It would probably be a good idea to keep an eye on the progress of the bug in the ShareThis module so that you can remove this restriction when possible.
