Security of Feeds in Recommendations
The Recommendations Catalog (Feeds) is considered by me as a central place for storing products in Adobe Target. The documentation says that anyone can go and change the data in this catalog using a simple mbox request to update an entity in the catalog: "... Item descriptions can be passed into Target using feeds or mboxes ...".
Lets suppose, the catalog has the following records:
entity.id | category.id | message | ...
1 | category1 | message1 | ...
2 | ... | ... | ...
etc..
Lets suppose we have a scenario where:
1) User "A" goes to a page with recommendations activity where they see "mes1" in recommendations related to entity.id=1
2) A bad user "B" updates entity.id=1 by the mbox request with with a message = "bad message"
3) User "A" reloads the page and sees message "bad message"
Is this scenario possible ? If not, why ?
