Ahah.  After hunting through 10.x and 11.x sources, not finding those, 
seeing reference to having removed some pkg-* scripts along the way ..

What version of FreeBSD are you running? (uname -a) and how was it 
installed; originally or by freebsd-update or from updated sources?

That is, was there an earlier version installed previously?

Please show output of:

 ls -lrt /etc/periodic/security

And if there are any older files there, perhaps also the output of:

 ls -lrtR /etc/periodic

cheers, Ian
