I think if you report it on bug tracker as an exploit it is hidden from players, and only admins can see it

What do you mean as a exploit it's hidden from players? I can't find an exploit category. If I report it now others can see it.

I just use the bug tracker anyway when I find an exploit, the admins will simply hide it once they realize it is true. I doubt the amount of people who see such exploits by the time they hide it from view is significant.

The ISVV team (And developers I think as well to a lesser extent) regularly checks the bugs in the bugtracker.
Like others have mentioned, any bugs reported to the bugtracker that are found to be exploits that could potentially be abused by other players are marked as hidden from public view so others do not see and try to exploit them.
If you think the bug you found is really, REALLY bad that you don't want anyone else seeing it in the timeframe between you writing it up and it getting marked hidden, just send a PM to one of the staff.
