Their dorsal fin, as with most catfish species, may be stiff enough to poke you and maybe cause a bit of a "sting" but not likely anything to worry about. I have been "finned" by other fish before (my blood parrot cichlid got me once by accident) but I would think a corydoras fins are too soft to penetrate the skin.
