Hvci Bypass _best_ -
Let’s examine two landmark bypasses that demonstrated real-world HVCI defeat.
CVE-2019-0887 – An information disclosure in the hypercall HvlSwitchToVsmVtl1 allowed attackers to leak hypervisor memory. While not a full bypass, it paved the way for mapping hypervisor structures. A true vulnerability in the hypervisor’s page table management could allow an attacker to directly modify the SLAT mappings, disabling HVCI for a specific page. Hvci Bypass

Microsoft and hardware vendors are not idle. Each bypass leads to new hardening. : Since SMM (often called "Ring -2") has
: Since SMM (often called "Ring -2") has higher privileges than the hypervisor itself, vulnerabilities in BIOS/UEFI can be used to attack the Windows Hypervisor directly, effectively neutralizing HVCI from the hardware level up.
