I'm sure the experts will weigh in on this, but anytime you have two different metals (metaloid in the case of carbon) there will be some galvanic interaction that can lead to corrosion. For carbon and aluminum this is minimal, and you would also need an electrolyte to serve as a transport. Also keep in mind that carbon fiber is encased in a resin not bare carbon so there is probably little if any direct contact with the aluminum.
