 I've been running WordPress on Nginx for over 2 years without fail.

 Exactly on June 18 2019 when 5.2.2 was released large amounts of rewrite
 errors popped up on every single site.

 This problem was not noticed until a week ago when I got several thousand
 errors in Google Search Console that my sites were all giving 404 errors.

 None of my nginx virtualhost configs have changed in 2 years and Nginx was
 last updated several months ago.

 Viewing the pages reported by Search Console as giving 404 showed they all
 worked just fine in a browser but in the backend every single pages access
 was generating an error in the error.log as follows.

 "/var/www/mysite.com/my-pretty-permalink/index.php" is not found (2: No
 such file or directory)

 I do not use index.php as I have my permalinks structured as
 /%category%/%postname%/

 But exactly on to the day I updated this error appeared on every single
 site.

 So /index.php started being tagged onto everything in the backend.

 Did something change in any of the changes in 5.2.2 that could have caused
 this?
