WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why hires_upload_candidate_file is rated Medium

File upload is a write operation that creates new data objects in the candidate record. Severity is medium because malicious file uploads could introduce malware or fraudulent documents into hiring records, affecting recruitment workflows and compliance. However, the operation is reversible (files can be deleted), so it does not rise to Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state 'Upload a file for a candidate' — this creates or modifies data (resume, portfolio, document attachment) in the ATS system. The base64 payload mechanism confirms file creation/storage.
