Windows hypervisor has been broken by exploits on numerous occasions. There was
this one a few months back but that was the host access the guest. Although the idea behind hypervisors is great for protection, they can have their own problems too.
From 2012

A newly disclosed vulnerability that affects multiple virtualization products could allow an attacker to obtain administrative-level rights in the hypervisor and run arbitrary code or access any account of their choosing.
That warning arrived Tuesday in the form of a security advisory released by the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT). "Some 64-bit operating systems and virtualization software running on Intel CPU hardware are vulnerable to a local privilege escalation attack," it read. "The vulnerability may be exploited for local privilege escalation or a guest-to-host virtual machine escape."
