Research direction
Start in CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData(), then trace its callers through fetchCves(), getCveUpgradeIssues(), and batchGetCVEIssues(). Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API failure in the reported IntelliJ, Linux, JDK, and plugin versions; done means vulnerability data retrieval no longer produces the reported SSLHandshakeException.
