Description
## Summary
The file [vulnerabilities/pipes/advisory.py] contains a bare `except:` clause at line 459 which violates PEP 8 (E722) and can lead to unexpected behavior.
## Problem
Bare `except:` clauses catch **all** exceptions, including:
- `SystemExit` - prevents clean program termination
- `KeyboardInterrupt` - prevents Ctrl+C from working
- `GeneratorExit` - can break generator cleanup
## Location
**File:** [vulnerabilities/pipes/advisory.py]
**Line:** 459
**Current code:**
```python
except:
if logger:
logger(
f"Failed to create VulnerabilitySeverity for: {severity} with error:\n{traceback_format_exc()}",
level=logging.ERROR,
)
