Alone, Wireshark is not a significant threat. provided that no hubs are used on a network and switches are not attacked (see Macoff) then a user running wireshark will only see traffic from their own host (see micro-segmentation).
Wireshark and other packet sniffing programs should only be used by administration staff on networks as traditional users have no legitimate use for them.
