I'm not sure, but I would tend to say that publishing it is the better of
the two. Then people can make a better informed choice on whether to rely
on the protection or not, or when and how to rely on it, or what to do to
prevent the hack. And the manufacturer has a better chance to fix it.

Of course, if you want to exploit the hack, you better don't publish it...
After all, it's one of your business assets  :)
