Disclosure in information security means sharing details about vulnerabilities, breaches, or security incidents. This can be done privately with affected parties, coordinated to allow fixes before public release, or fully public, sometimes before patches exist. The method chosen affects how quickly risks are mitigated and how much attackers might exploit the information.
