After inspecting the problem I found that the default of daily_status_security_diff_flags in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf is "-b -u" but the ${filter} expression in /etc/periodic/security.functions is being set to grep '^>' diff produces a +/- diff format but the output is being filtered for ^> so no output comes from any of the /etc/periodic/security scripts. This should be either changed to daily_status_security_diff_flags="-b" in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf or ${filter} being changed to 'grep ^+' in /etc/periodic/security/security.functions.
