I have the same issue on MacOS Ventura 13.0, guest system Windows 10.
As recommended here https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=107333, I tried to install VB 6.1.40, but it didn't work on Ventura at all.
I think it has nothing to do with the guest system because I also tried Windows 7, Windows XP as guest systems.
Using USB filters won't work either.

Thanks to a guy Matafaga, I managed to get USB connected on MacOS Ventura 13.0 with VB 7.0.2:
- Start VB using "sudo virtualbox"
- Go to your guest OS settings->Ports->USB and select "USB 3.0 (xHCI)"
- Then just start your guest OS and USB devices should work. No need to use USB filters.

Same issue is still happening in Virtualbox 7.0.4.
"sudo virtualbox" is not a viable solution or workaround. Mac users need a proper fix for this.

This is currently under investigation and the problem description was passed to Apple, waiting for a response from them.

I still have this issue on VB 7.0.6 and MacOS Ventura 13.1
BTW, after "sudo virtualbox" command the virtual machine becomes inaccessable. You can fix this by sudo chown -R my_user V_MACHINE_FOLDER
