Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

This problem would fit better on the ​support forums, and I found a related topic there. ​https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unwanted-comments-on-image-attachment-pages/

You have attachment pages enabled, and at least some of those have an active comments form. Example: https://www.maxsharam.com/index.php/thespian-max/screen_test-3/

Core has created one way to remove attachment pages in #57913. Another way to remove those pages is to use a plugin such as ​Attachment Pages Redirect or ​Yoast SEO.

If you only wish to remove the comments forms from those pages, you could try one of these:

• ​https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-completely-disable-comments-in-wordpress/#disable-comments-on-media
• ​https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/disable-comments-for-media-attachments-in-wordpress/

I have wanted comments off by default on attachment pages, which might be done in ticket:58375.

Because this issue is not a Core bug, 'invalid' is the most appropriate resolution. In case some of the information in your second ticket was sensitive, I chose to delete the ticket instead of closing it as a duplicate.
