Implication of forced http GET request (Web App PT)

hi, guys

Just curious to know what are the possible security implications of
permitting forced GET request in a web application? I am pt on this
web application where all the form submission POST request can be
replaced with GET request with all the parameter values appended to
the url.

I remember someone mentioned this in a "session fixation" whitepaper.
Is there any other related risks with this implementation?

regards,
Rick
