  Based on the new version of the gedanken experiments proposed by Sorce and
Wald, we examine the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) under the
spherically charged infalling matter collision process in the static charged
Gauss-Bonnet black holes. After considering the null energy condition and
assuming the stability condition, we derive the perturbation inequality of the
matter source. As a result, we find that the static charged Gauss-Bonnet black
holes cannot be overcharged under the second-order approximation of the
perturbation when the null energy condition is taken into account, although
they can be destroyed in the old version of gedanken experiments. Our result
shows that the WCCC holds for the above collision process in the
Einstein-Maxwell-Gauss-Bonnet gravity and indicates that WCCC may also be valid
in the higher curvature gravitational theories.
