 Related to #60352.

 As servers are typically set to use `index.php` as a default when
 directories are accessed, the use of the file in `/wp-includes/blocks/`
 can result in filling the logs files with noise due to fatal errors as
 search engines test the URL for validity.

 As a temporary fix for this, I suggest adding an `ABSPATH` check to the
 file and dying gracefully to prevent noise.

 There is a [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6635 pull
 request] linked to the earlier ticket that can be used as a starting
 point.
