  We examine the problem of overcharging extremal and near-extremal black hole
solutions of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in any dimension, generalizing the
result in general relativity. We show that as in the case of general
relativity, it is not possible to create a naked singularity by overcharging an
extremal black hole in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity using a charged test
particle. Our result suggests that the validity of the cosmic censorship
hypothesis transcends beyond general relativity to well motivated higher
curvature gravity.
