Reproduction steps

I'm trying to inject base64 encoded ssh private key from env variables into jenkins credentials store using casc plugins.
Inline my casc config.

root@jenkins-deployment-5f99bd74b7-qc2js:/# cat /usr/share/jenkins/casc_configs/secrets.yml
credentials:
  system:
    domainCredentials:
      - credentials:
          - basicSSHUserPrivateKey:
              id: "infrastructure1"
              privateKeySource:
                directEntry:
                  privateKey: |
                    ${decodeBase64:${PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64}}
              scope: GLOBAL
              username: "admin-user"
              usernameSecret: true

I can confirm that PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64 is indeed set as env variable before I run
java -jar /opt/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ -auth admin:admin reload-jcasc-configuration

Expected Results

Password should be injected into jenkins credentials

Actual Results

root@jenkins-deployment-5f99bd74b7-qc2js:/# java -jar /opt/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ -auth admin:admin  reload-jcasc-configuration

ERROR: Illegal base64 character 24

Anything else?

I tried readFileBase64, which is able to read from file and inject into jenkins credentials store.
I have also tried exact same config provided in https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/blob/de7cffe5cb4b1bde9a55ae7cd32acb183f5d6ba4/integrations/src/test/resources/io/jenkins/plugins/casc/SSHCredentialsTest_Singleline_Key.yml and that also not working
