Lime-based cookies (which are typically simple, predictable, or weakly-generated cookies) present a security risk because they are easy to guess, making them susceptible to session hijacking and other attacks. Attackers can easily determine the cookie value if the method used for generation is not strong or random enough, leading to unauthorized access.
