Description
When Guest Additions detects that a newer version of the host is running, it will pop up a message like:
"Your guest is currently running the Guest Additions version X. We recommend updating to the latest version (Y) by choosing the install option from the Devices menu."
In older versions of VirtualBox this wording was fine, as the Devices menu had an entry "Install Guest Additions". However, for several versions now the entry is instead "Insert Guest Additions CD image".
So I think the wording in the popup should be changed to something like:
"Your guest is currently running the Guest Additions version X. We recommend updating to the latest version (Y) by choosing the option to insert the Guest Additions CD image from the Devices menu."
