The only drawback of pointer in C maybe that if used
carelessly, you can access and overwrite some critical
memory. For Eg: if you declare an array of 5 ints, arr[5].
and if you try to write on arr[5], you will end up writing
outside the array, and eventually corrupt some memory
location. So data security is lost while handling pointers
