What issue are you seeing?

While reviewing code in a dev utility that prints out information about a JWT token, I get the error below, even though this isn't really a cybersecurity tool, it simply checks a token's signature and prints out the payload. (It's a tool we use at work to help debug tokens and can be found at https://github.com/rselbach/jwtdebug)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019f6528-31f2-7043-93e2-bf3f6347415a

What is the expected behavior?

It should review the code.
