Would you perhaps like to identify which of the 40+ editions on that page is allegedly CPE’s work rather than JS’? Otherwise, posting something like this is fairly useless.

IIRC, CPE Bach collected his father's chorales and had them published, and probably did editing, but he didn't actually compose any of them.

That's my recollection as well – which is possibly the point of contention, but who can say from such a vague first post?
