    AFAIK, If the following two attributes are set for JSessionID cookie, then there is no security issue.
    1. httpOnly
     The JavaScript code can't read cookie
     
    2. HTTPS
    • The browser won’t attach this cookie in the HTTP request
    • The HTTPS request will be encrypted so cookies will be safely sent
    • When sent over HTTPS, all data will be encrypted from the browser and sent to the network. The attacker won’t be able to get the raw data
