Unless you are absolutely tiny, you will have to modify both the rear window of the truck and the front window of the camper heavily to achieve this. The stock openings are much too small for anything bigger than a small child to crawl through.
Generally speaking what you are trying to accomplish is not practical, even for emergency use. It will be a custom one-off solution for your particular combination of vehicle. You would need to find a local customizer to do the job unless you feel capable of doing the work yourself.
On the camper side it would require complete removal of that front window and enlargement of that hole, if there is even open wall space there to do that. It would also require removal and modification of the back glass of the truck to provide a bigger hole.
I do know that years ago you could get an inflatable "donut" that sealed that area between the camper and the truck. I think it was in the JC Whitney catalog. Haven't seen one for sale in many years.
Honestly, if you are THAT paranoid about being "attacked" in the night and having to make a quick escape by diving through the pass-through into the cab of the truck, you're in the wrong business, camp in the wrong places, or should re-think camping altogether.
