This is a very unlikely expectation. Employees are under NDA so nobody will talk publically about it unless one of them feel so strongly about it to sacrifice their career (they'd certainly get fired, and being sued for breaching the NDA isn't going to make finding a new job easier).

Employees at all companies keep quiet about bugs like these all the time, that's the most common outcome.

NDAs are unenforceable against whistleblowers who report illegal activity.

Would it actually be illegal to cover up/lie about? I assume the company is US based, there is certainly breach regulations in Aus (with a 12 month notification window). I guess if it’s publicly traded then it would be a breach of law, but what about if it was privately owned?
