A software company releases a patch to fix a known security vulnerability in its product only after that vulnerability has been independently confirmed by the company's internal testing team. Last year, the company released patches for every vulnerability that external researchers reported to it, and no vulnerability went unpatched.

Which of the following can be most properly inferred from these statements?

  1. Every vulnerability that external researchers reported last year was confirmed internally.
  2. The internal testing team is more skilled at finding vulnerabilities than outside researchers are.
  3. External researchers reported more vulnerabilities last year than in any prior year on record.
  4. The company patched some vulnerabilities that no external researcher had ever reported.
  5. Internal confirmation takes, on average, longer than the external reporting process itself takes.
