PB Blaster + CAS = ??

Last night I was spraying PB blaster on some bolts in the engine bay, and I happened to have the CAS cover off. I got a little trigger-happy and ended up getting some in the CAS. Is this bad? I dried out what I could with a paper towel (it wasn't much really). I haven't tried starting it since (main pulley is off) but could this damage the CAS?

not likely. Damage of electrical components would come from the electric current going places it shouldn't or in too many amps. I'd recommend getting some electrical cleaning spray (basically an alcohol) and spray it in there if you're worried about it. Let it dry out and inspect it. If you're still concerned with it do an FSM test on it.
