Description
## Overview
In file: `pipeline_jobs.py`, there is a method that creates a temporary file using an unsafe API mktemp. The use of this method is discouraged in the Python documentation. iCR suggested that a temporary file should be created using NamedTemporaryFile or mkstemp which is a safe API. iCR replaced the usage of mktemp with mkstemp. Read more about tempfile's deprecated functions [here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#deprecated-functions-and-variables).
### Solution
Replace the `mktemp` method with a safe one- `mkstemp` in file: [pipeline_jobs.py](https://github.com/googleapis/python-aiplatform/blob/main/google/cloud/aiplatform/pipeline_jobs.py#L1070)

### Sponsorship and Support:
This work is done by the security researchers from OpenRefactory and is supported by the [Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF)](https://openssf.org/): [Project Alpha-Omega](https://alpha-omega.dev/). Alpha-Omega is a project partnering with open source software project maintainers to systematically find new, as-yet-undiscovered vulnerabilities in open source code - and get them fixed – to improve global software supply chain security.
The bug is found by running the Intelligent Code Repair (iCR) tool by OpenRefactory and then manually triaging the results.
