Research direction
Start at CVECheckService.retrieveVulnerabilityData in the stack trace, then trace fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues to understand the GitHub Security Advisory request path. Reproduce the connection failure in the IntelliJ plugin environment and determine the expected behavior when the API cannot be reached; done means the failure no longer appears as an uncaught exception.
