Research direction

Start in CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData (line 312), then trace fetchCves and getCveUpgradeIssues to understand how the GitHub Security Advisory API request is handled. Reproduce the HTTP connect timeout if possible and define done as handling this failure without the reported uncaught exception; the payload names no test file.
