Research direction

Start with CVECheckService.java at retrieveVulnerabilityData and trace its callers through fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues; the report shows the failure originates from an HTTP connection attempt. Reproduce the error with the listed IntelliJ and plugin versions, then identify the expected behavior for this GitHub Security Advisory API connection failure and verify it through the Java upgrade issue detection flow.
