Research direction
Start in CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData, then trace fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues from the provided stack trace. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API request if possible and determine how the ConnectException is surfaced. Done should mean the reported connection failure is handled without an uncaught IntelliJ error, with tests covering the behavior if existing tests are found.
