The quests of Natah and Hidden Messages.

Natah implies but does not directly state that the Lotus' role was as an infiltrator. Hunhow says that he feigned death, allowed the Orokin to destroy his main body, in order to deceive them and allow the plan to go forward. That implies that they had an inside operative ready to carry out the rest of the plan.

Hidden Messages shows us that the Lotus has memories of being mission control for Tenno during the Old War, that she oversaw missions against the Sentients, and that she had full access to the control infrastructure, being able to order ships for pickup and remotely surge Mirage's systems for an escape attempt.

The most logical conclusion is that the Lotus managed to infiltrate the Warframe project. There can of course be other explanations, but those explanations might not fir what we know as well as this one.
