Welcome to tek-tips.

Quoting from the CNet download site:
CrossLoop provides a quick, easy, and completely free way to give a colleague, a friend, or a relative access to your computer. After installation, your PC will be assigned a 12-digit access code each time you start the program. You then give that number to another user to virtually share your desktop. Once connected, that user will have full access to your machine. ...<snip> CrossLoop doesn't work without explicit permission from the host

If you run a cross loop session and give someone a valid code, which changes every session, yes, they can access your PC.
