Research direction
Start with CVECheckService.retrieveVulnerabilityData at line 312 and trace its callers through fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API connection failure in the reported IntelliJ, Windows 11, and JDK 21 environment, then verify that the exception is no longer uncaught and vulnerability retrieval has defined behavior.
