CVE-2026-34549: Mutative Left Shift Byte Extraction

Extracting multi-byte integers using an in-place left shift (`val <<= 8`) can trigger Undefined Behavior (UB), especially when shifting on types where the shifted-out bits cannot be represented. Instead of mutating the integer and triggering UB under UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer, extract bytes using a calculated right shift based on the loop index (e.g., `val
