Motivation and Context
Enhance the existing
dependency-cve-monitorworkflow with a new job that detects CVEs directly from upstream sources before they reach the global GitHub Advisory Database.While we have Dependabot alerts, libraries like Apache HttpComponents have advisories that remain in unreviewed state — meaning Dependabot alerts never fire for them. This is a recent known limitation documented in this GitHub blog
post. This change adds an upstream check for early detection.

Integration tested in a forked repo — validated positive detection (alerts when vulnerable), negative detection (silent when patched), version comparison logic, and PAT access. No new secrets or permissions required.
