Description

System.SecurityException is never thrown by the runtime and handling where such exception is caught can be removed.

There are one or two cases where this exception is thrown from libraries but maybe these could be revisited as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search for all usages of System.SecurityException in the managed libraries (e.g., using grep or IDE) and remove catch blocks and throw statements. Ensure no other code depends on it.
