The idea/hope/point of the embargo is not keep the issue secret forever, but to keep it secret long enough to allow fixes to be released and that most people can update when/before the details become widely known.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "proper announcement" of the actual issue shortly after patches are widely available.

The problem is that it's usually very easy to just watch commits to find patches.
Patches usually aren't released publicly until after the embargo period.
