Hardening suggestions for Stirling-PDF / multiFileAsync (#3923)

I've reviewed the recently opened PR ([3922 - Support multi-file async
job results and ZIP
extraction](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/pull/3922))
and have identified some area(s) that could benefit from additional
hardening measures.

These changes should help prevent potential security vulnerabilities and
improve overall code quality.

Thank you for your consideration!
