Research direction
Start at the jwt.verify(token, secretOrPublicKey, ...) entry point and reproduce the issue with the public and private RSA keys described in the report. Trace how each key is classified; done means public keys are identified as public and private keys as private, with regression coverage for both cases.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
when passing an RSA key to jwt.verify(token, secretOrPublicKey, {algoriths: ['RS256'] }), it is being parsed wrongly.
when passing a public key it is parsed as { type: "secret" }, and when passing a private key it is parsed as { type: "public" }
