Depends on skill level and the exact nature of the flaw. There's definitely going to be a nonzero number of malicious people who lie in the middle distance "I can come up with a way to exploit flaws if I have a detailed trail of breadcrumbs" and "I can't be bothered to do an unlimited amount of work to track down how to do this, I have other malicious things on my schedule for today."
