    It's not as much a question of overall performance or vulnerability - but every attachment becomes a part of the overall CRM database and could increase the size of the DB much faster than you expect. - this will result in longer databas backup times and the time to retrieve that specific attachment will be slower than if it was stored in a file system.

    One large file will not hurt, but turning CRM into a document library is not it's best use, - For that type of need, consider incorporating a sharepoint document library and linking it to CRM. (This is a common practice and there are many discussions about how to do this online - and there is now a new class from Microsoft on Sharepoint-CRM integration.)
