Issues with downloading and unpacking plugins with PHP 8.2

Description

Hello,

I've encountered an issue when trying to download and install plugins or update WordPress on PHP 8.2, both from the admin dashboard and using WP-CLI. This issue does not occur on PHP 8.1.

When attempting to install or update a plugin, the ZIP file is downloaded correctly, but when it comes to unzipping and installing, the process ends with an error of "Could not copy file.". The same issue occurs during a WordPress update.

I conducted a series of tests trying to pinpoint the issue. I carried out tests with both native PHP functions (curl, copy) and WordPress functions (download_url, unzip_file) that are typically used for downloading and installing plugins and updates.

Moreover, I noticed that the issue also arises when trying to update to a previous version via WP-CLI. In this case, after the ZIP file is downloaded, unzipped, and attempted to install, an error of "Warning: Could not copy file." is produced.

Here seems to be a WP-CLI cache clearing issue as empty zip files remain

Given the above, I suspect that the problem might be due to some incompatibility between PHP 8.2 and the WordPress functions used for downloading and installing plugins and updates.

Could someone take a look at this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have not been able to reproduce this issue in a local environment, however, I've noticed that it only occurs when utilizing the WordPress update function. I've tried various approaches to pinpoint the problem within PHP to no avail. If anyone has suggestions or needs further information to help resolve this issue, feel free to reach out.
