There are many ways a hostile program inside a VM can escape it and run code on the host or, at least, negatively affect it.

Please do share how can one escape qemu.

At your service:

Beautiful! Thank you.

Not many if its Qubes OS.

One would be quite enough.

In fact, Qubes is using hardware virtualization IOMMU/VT-d [0], which has been escaped only once in 2006 by the project founder [1].

I trust Joanna Rutkowska's competence, but I wouldn't bet too much on chip makers not messing up again in the future.

It will be progressively harder, but it will happen.
