Global Entry has a database of all users right? If so, then I assume people who have gone through the process of Global Entry and are legit, could have there ID's taken and edited by other people.

Yeah. What's more, you can have all the physical security you want (biometrics, encryption, armed guards at the check points, background checks, urine samples, etc) but all that data is just sitting on a server somewhere guarded by a couple of admin passwords.

And faking out the biometric scan too? Good luck. They watch you the whole trip from buying the ticket, plane both ways, and everything.

The government already has the information, this system just makes it easier if you travel through Customs.
