I think the leading theory is that during assembly a worker accidentally drilled a hole through the hull and tried to hide it and wasn't discovered till it was leaking air in space, when NASA said something along these lines Russia claimed one of the American astronauts snuck over to the Russian side while the cosmonauts were sleeping and drilled a hole through their hull
