🎯 What: Fixed DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the PDF Extractor and Image Compressor tools.
⚠️ Risk: An attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript within a user's browser by coaxing them to upload a file with a maliciously crafted filename (e.g., <img src=x onerror=alert(1)>).
🛡️ Solution: Replaced unsafe template literal interpolation in innerHTML with safe DOM manipulation. The filenames are now assigned using textContent on dynamically created elements, ensuring they are treated strictly as text and cannot be evaluated as HTML.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 13635114545594598799 started by @immineal

Replaced unsafe `innerHTML` assignments with safe DOM manipulation
using `document.createElement()` and `textContent` for user-supplied
filenames in the PDF Extractor and Image Compressor tools.
