rxapi

ooRexx's rxapi daemon — a local IPC broker that starts itself and quietly holds a socket open.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA assigns 10010/tcp to rxapi, the Open Object Rexx API daemon. It brokers queues, the macrospace, and registered external functions for ooRexx programs, and the interpreter starts it automatically the first time a script needs it — which is why it appears on machines nobody thinks of as ooRexx hosts. The matching UDP entry is Reserved. Nmap sees the port open on about 0.29% of scanned hosts, unusually high for a niche runtime service.

Exposed to the internet?

Do not expose

rxapi is designed as a local IPC broker between processes on one machine, not as a network service. If it is answering from off-box, bind it back to the loopback interface.

Check it yourself

$ sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:10010 -sTCP:LISTEN
