Host system:i5-2500, 16GB RAM, Intel graphics, wired Internet, 64-bit Plasma system. Updated virtualbox and the kmods on the host. All packages installed cleanly. Extension pack downloaded and installed/updated manually. Ran an XP guest and tried to use the gui "Insert guest additions" which, as expected, failed at the end of the download. Guest additions were inserted by downloading the iso from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ and loading it into the virtual optical drive. Once the additions were installed, the XP guest operated normally. Opened an existing Mageia 7 Plasma guest that had other updates pending, including a kernel, and updated those and the 6.0.18 guest additions in one operation. Rebooted to a working desktop, no issues noted. Looks OK on this system.

Booted my existing MSW7p-64 guest. Tests OK: Dynamically resizing guest window by mouse Shared clipboard, bidirectional Shared folders bidirectional copying USB2: flash stick and Brother label printer Sound, Internet, performance: playing video in Firefox while host is heavily loaded.
