Research direction

Start in CVECheckService.retrieveVulnerabilityData at line 312, then trace the fetchCves, getCveUpgradeIssues, and batchGetCVEIssues callers shown in the stack trace. Reproduce the connection failure in the reported IntelliJ and Mac OS X environment if possible. The report does not specify a target change, test, or completion criteria, so those need clarification before implementation.
