There's really no to very low risk of anything that could go wrong as long as:

1. The polarity is correct
2. The system voltage of thw two vehicles are identical
3. The cables are installed with the ignition switch off

It's really no different than connecting an outbord battery charger to the vehicle or plugging in a jump-start power brick through the cig lighter socket.
