UniFi Site Manager: Console firmware likely security-relevant
Description
Identifies UniFi console / gateway devices (UDM, Cloud Key, USG, UXG, gateway) running firmware behind a major or minor version of the available release. Major/minor firmware jumps on consoles routinely include security advisory fixes (e.g. UniFi Security Advisory Bulletins). Patch-level updates are excluded since those are typically minor non-security bug fixes covered by the lower-severity FirmwareUpdateAvailable rule.

Original query, unchanged.
// Detects consoles/gateways with a major-or-minor firmware Version gap vs the available release.
// Patch-level gaps (e.g. 5.1.11 -> 5.1.12) are excluded - covered by FirmwareUpdateAvailable at Low severity.
