My personal property description:

The glide.security.file.mime_type.validation property in ServiceNow makes sure that uploaded files are checked to confirm they are the correct type. If this property is turned on (true), it prevents unsafe or harmful files from being uploaded by verifying their types. If it's off (false), the system does not check the file types, which could allow dangerous files to be uploaded

The ServiceNow property `glide.security.file.mime_type.validation` is used to enable or disable MIME type validation for file attachments. When set to true, this property activates MIME type checking for uploads, ensuring that the file's MIME type matches its extension. This validation is applicable to all versions from Eureka and up. The file extensions that are subject to this validation are configured via the `glide.attachment.extensions` property. This security measure helps prevent the upload of potentially harmful files by verifying their MIME types during the upload process.
