This pull request introduces two new files to improve project security and code quality. A GitHub Actions workflow for CodeQL analysis is added to automate code scanning for vulnerabilities, and a security policy document is provided to clarify supported versions and the process for reporting security issues.

Security and Code Quality Automation

  • Added a .github/workflows/codeql.yml workflow to enable automated CodeQL analysis for JavaScript/TypeScript and Actions code on pushes, pull requests, and a weekly schedule. This helps identify vulnerabilities and maintain code quality.

Security Policy Documentation

  • Added a SECURITY.md file outlining supported versions for security updates and instructions for reporting vulnerabilities, improving transparency and guidance for users and contributors.Description
    Brief description of what this PR does.

Pull request overview

This PR adds security infrastructure to the PlayCanvas Engine repository by introducing automated CodeQL security scanning and a security policy document. However, the SECURITY.md file requires customization to be effective.

  • Added a CodeQL GitHub Actions workflow for automated security scanning of JavaScript/TypeScript code
  • Added a SECURITY.md file (currently contains template placeholder text that needs customization)

This workflow uses actions/checkout@v4, but other workflows in the repository (ci.yml, beta.yaml) use actions/checkout@v5. For consistency and to ensure the latest features and security updates, this should be updated to v5 to match the rest of the codebase.

The SECURITY.md file contains placeholder/template text that should be replaced with actual instructions. Lines 5-6 and 17-21 contain generic placeholder text ("Use this section to tell people...") that doesn't provide actionable information for users trying to report security vulnerabilities or understand the security policy.
