From the user’s perspective, the symptoms of both the permission issue and kernel integrations issue are similar, and the solutions are related. In our testing, we have found that different users have experienced both of these types of issues with VirtualBox (and other software such as VMWare). Also, if VirtualBox was already installed and an update to MacOS is performed, this can break existing kernel integrations and permissions that were previously working. Some applications will no longer function with certain permissions and will no longer function without certain permissions. In Catalina and higher macOS, how applications manage their permissions as well as how kernel integrations are handled has been changed.

The reported issue is happening in at least two circumstances: Multiple people have reported VirtualBox having a variety of issues running VirtualBox and its Virtual Machines on macOS (Catalina and newer).
