Aerys and Joanna are both dead. Tywin is dead. Everyone but Ser Barristan Selmy on Aerys' Kingsguard is dead. Who else could know the truth?
It could be Barristan Selmy in the books, but he's dead in the series, and if Weiss and Benioff know the ending, would they have killed off the only person that could possibly relay the truth?
Sorry if I missed someone answering, but in the books it was implied it was Jojen's father who knew the truth. In the tv show it could be Selmey or even Jojen through his father. Or maybe Bran will learn it during time travel tree god training. Really, they could do it so many ways.
Jojen's sister tells Bran about their father at the tournament at which Ned Stark's sister was named the queen of love and beauty. She keeps pausing to ask, "You don't know this story?" So she obviously knows it. She will have gotten it from her father.
Any number of other people will know it too. Few enough people know it that Ned's sister could hope to keep it secret, but that doesn't mean that nobody knows it.
