Research direction
Start in CVECheckService.retrieveVulnerabilityData at line 312, then trace fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues to understand how the GitHub Security Advisory API request is handled. Determine the expected behavior when the HTTP connection times out and verify that the IntelliJ plugin no longer reports an uncaught exception during vulnerability retrieval.
