Research direction

Start with CVECheckService.java, especially retrieveVulnerabilityData at line 312 and its callers fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API request using the reported IntelliJ, macOS, and JDK versions, then determine and verify a fix for the SSLHandshakeException during vulnerability retrieval.
