Any virtual machine launch immediately fails with the same error message

Description

I guess the problem appeared with version 12.2 of MacOs Monterey since an old working version of VirtualBox started to malfunction giving the same errors as the latest version of VirtualBox :

On double-clicking on any virtual machine a popup window appears immediately with the message:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

There is also after another popup window which provides this message:

Échec de l'ouverture de session pour la machine virtuelle any.

The virtual machine 'any' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 6.

Code d'erreur : NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Composant : MachineWrap
Interface : IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}

Also seeing this after updating to Version 6.1.38 r153438 (Qt5.6.3).

Any resolution?

Please switch to VirtualBox 7.0 where we dropped all kernel extensions, which Apple forced us to do.
