Research direction

Start with CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData (line 312) and the fetchCves and getCveUpgradeIssues callers shown in the stack trace. Determine how a network-unreachable failure from the GitHub Security Advisory API should be handled, then verify that vulnerability retrieval no longer produces an uncaught exception.
