I have done that in a plugin (follow-up action), using server-side Java API.

This works for only one work item, but you can use thes snippets as a starting point, by adapting them to plain Java API.

public IAttachment getAttachment (IWorkItem workItem)
    throws TeamRepositoryException {
    IAttachment attachment = null;
    IWorkItemReferences workItemReferences = saveParameter.getNewReferences();
    List<IReference> attachmentReferencesList = workItemReferences.getReferences(WorkItemEndPoints.ATTACHMENT);
    for (IReference attachmentReference : attachmentReferencesList) {
    if (attachmentReference.isItemReference()) {
IItemHandle referencedItem = ((IItemReference) attachmentReference).getReferencedItem();
String itemKind = referencedItem.getItemType().getName();
if (referencedItem instanceof IAttachmentHandle) {
attachment = (IAttachment) repositoryItemService.fetchItem(referencedItem, IRepositoryItemService.COMPLETE);
break;
}
    }
    }
    return attachment;
}
  
public boolean saveAttachment(IAttachment attachment)
    throws TeamRepositoryException {   
    boolean saved = false;
    try {
    String attachmentName = attachment.getName();
    String attachmentPath = attachmentsFolder + "\" + attachmentName;
    File save = new File(attachmentPath);
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(save);
    try {
    contentService.retrieveContent(attachment.getContent(), out);
    } finally {
    out.close();
    }
    saved = true;
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    saved = false;
    } catch (IOException e) {
    saved = false;
    }
    return saved;
}
