Accretion onto dark compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, and white dwarfs is a crucial process in astrophysics as it turns gravitational energy into radiation. The accretion process is an effective technique to investigate the properties of other theories of gravity by examining the behavior of their solutions with compact objects. In this paper, we investigate the behavior of test particles around a charged four-dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (4<em>D</em> EGB) black hole in order to understand their innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) and energy flux, differential luminosity, and temperature of the accretion disk. Then, we examine particle oscillations around a central object via applying restoring forces to treat perturbations. Next, we explore the accretion of perfect fluid onto a charged 4<em>D</em> EGB black hole. We develop analytical formulas for four-velocity and proper energy density of the accreting fluid. The EGB parameter and the charge affect properties of the test particles by decreasing their ISCO radius and also decreasing their energy flux.

The interaction of incoming and outgoing energy flux leads to changes in the black hole. We examine whether the second law of thermodynamics holds in this scenario. It is noted that, when absorption and superradiance reach equilibrium, and by using the thermodynamics of black holes in restricted phase space, if the black hole is in or near an extreme state with radiation and particle absorption, the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is upheld. Furthermore, by employing the equivalence mass-energy principle and second-order approximation near extremality, we find that when the black hole radiates and its central charge exceeds the scaled electric charge, the superradiance particles adhere to the weak gravity conjecture. This causes the black hole to move away from its extreme state.
