Research direction
Start with CVECheckService.java around retrieveVulnerabilityData (line 312) and its callers fetchCves and getCveUpgradeIssues; then review JavaUpgradeIssuesDetectionService.java around getCVEIssues. Reproduce the GitHub Security Advisory API connection failure with the reported IntelliJ and plugin versions. Done means the failure has a verified, non-uncaught outcome in the CVE flow.
