Not correct. Instead of denying it, they could either confirm it, or non-denial deny it. They would not knowingly issue specific and categorical denials that are lies.

In the cases as this, if you don't firmly deny everything, you basically confirm that it's true. And people responsible for issuing categorical denials might have had no awareness of any vulnerabilities, even if they actually existed.
