Research direction

Review CVECheckService.retrieveVulnerabilityData, fetchCves, and getCveUpgradeIssues in the supplied stack trace, then follow the call from JavaUpgradeIssuesDetectionService.getCVEIssues. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API retrieval from the reported IntelliJ environment and determine why the ConnectException is uncaught. Done means the cause is established and the retrieval error no longer produces this uncaught exception.
