Part of the solution involved discovering two separate zero-day vulnerabilities in Artifactory, so saying the solution must have "been in the knowledge" doesn't really cut it here.
Sure, but you can say that about most things. Even for inventions from humans, usually it requires other people having already done a lot of work (hence why there's often inventions by different people at around the same time that didn't know about each other). Humans aren't fundamentally smarter than they were thousands of years ago. We've just accumulated a lot more shared knowledge over time.
