But you can define a specific box version to use.
$ cat Vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "debian/buster64"
config.vm.box_version = "10.20210228.1"
config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "172.16.0.77"
config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |v|
v.memory = 2048
v.cpus = 2
end
end

This is useful at times, as things can go haywire after update.
