None. A LN node only needs a repository from where to read blocks and keep up the sync. It doesn't matter if is a full node with local blocks storage or neutrino.
Exploit what?

I don't know, it's why I'm asking.
I just know that if you're not running a full node, you're obviously making a security tradeoff and I'd like to know how can this bite me back?

It all depends what do you want to do/obtain. My guide about using LNbits with a neutrino + LN node is dedicated for those who want a quick install for a LNbits for a shop/business. It is not a general rule. Please read the links inside the guide to understand further the case.

Breez, Zeus and Blixt mobile nodes are using neutrino. And are just fine. Same works for a desktop LN node.
Using a full core node have other practicalities but not always you need a full node, just to transact over Bitcoin network.
