 What means compromised in this context?

Someone is able to extract/copy the data that uniquely identifies YOUR
palm so they can fabricate a passable emulation of it and masquerade
as you (to whatever is authenticating "you").
Machine only sees what it is shown.  So, it doesn't know that THIS
palm-print doesn't "match" THIS face, voice, body shape, etc. -- the
sorts of things that SHOULD be consistent with each other.
This is why it is usually more reliable to use "personal recognition"
as an authentication mechanism vs. some other "token".  Claiming that
you are someone that you are not is usually readily detected by someone
who knows YOU or the party you claim to be.
