One of my "old standby" macros hasn't been able to be installed by the Addon Manager for some time now. Initially I assumed it was related to the malware/security related changes, but now I'm not so sure.
Here's what I get in the FreeCAD report viewer:
13:27:11 Failed to create Easy-alias-icon.png: Invalid base64-encoded string: number of data characters (245) cannot be 1 more than a multiple of 4
13:27:11 Failed to install macro EasyAlias
