  usernames when the mobile client and auth_webservice were enabled.

  - CVE-2025-62400 / MSA-25-0049: Insufficient capability checks meant users with the capability to
  create group events, but without the capability to view hidden groups, could see hidden and
  separate groups in the list of groups to select for calendar events.
