Comment:

 Hi @isrgrajan and welcome to trac!

 The use of `ABSPATH` and `WPINC` in this file without quotes is intended.
 These values are defined by WordPress elsewhere to indicate where
 WordPress is installed and the path for `wp-includes` respectively.

 I suspect you are seeings messages in your server logs that show these
 values are undefined because either a person or, more likely, a bot is
 accessing the file directly by visiting `example.com/wp-includes/blocks/`.

 These log entries indicate the file is been accessed in an unintended
 manner rather than a bug in WordPress. Unfortunately it's not something
 WordPress can fix, but you may be able to block access to the file on your
 server. If you ask in the [https://wordpress.org/support/ support forums],
 someone may be able to assist you with how to do this.

 I'm going to close this ticket off as `invalid`. In this case, it's trac's
 unfriendly term to indicate it's not something that can be fixed by
 WordPress.
