You can do this by installing the unattended-upgrades package; see its documentation for details of its configuration.
sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
will install it for you.
Installing it should be sufficient to enable it. To allow it to reboot when necessary, you’ll have to add a configuration file, e.g. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/52unattended-upgrades-local, containing
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "yes";
By default, on Ubuntu, it will install any upgrade from the main repositories, whether it’s security-related or not. You can configure more repositories if necessary by overriding the Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins configuration key.

How official is this software source? I would not recommend to any user to install something from another source than their OS's software repository. Perhaps Ubuntu has something built-in (like CentOS'syum-cron)?

@Ned64 it’s available as a package in Debian and Ubuntu, and is written by a Ubuntu developer. It piggy-backs off hooks inaptitself.

What do you suppose this package does if the file/var/run/reboot-requiredis never generated by the system? That is to say, some systems generate this file, others do not.

The only one I'm certain of is Raspbian (Raspberry Pi's default OS). Just out of curiosity - Isn't Ubuntu an "offspring" of Debian?
