Research direction

Start with CVECheckService.java at lines 171, 200, 241, and 312, then inspect the caller at JavaUpgradeIssuesDetectionService.java:385. Trace how the GitHub Security Advisory API connection failure propagates and establish the expected behavior when vulnerability data cannot be retrieved. Done means the reported connection failure is handled without an uncaught exception.
