Research direction
Start in CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData(), then follow fetchCves(), getCveUpgradeIssues(), and batchGetCVEIssues() in the stack trace. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API request in the IntelliJ plugin environment, especially where the 403 tunnel failure occurs. Done means the vulnerability check no longer surfaces this uncaught exception.
