Adds a user-facing advisory to SECURITY.md about the active malware-spam campaign: burner accounts reply to fresh issues with an attached *_fix.zip (hosted on GitHub's user-attachments CDN) that claims to be a fix. The note tells users official builds come only from Releases, that user-attachments/files/... links are unvetted, and how to report the comment + attachment.

Part of the org-wide response (interaction limits + moderation). Docs-only.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Adds an advisory to SECURITY.md covering the automated spam campaign that
attaches malware archives (e.g. bd_fix_v1.zip) to issue comments via
GitHub's user-attachments uploader. Part of an org-wide response.
