Unassigned / VNC display :15

IANA leaves 5915 unassigned; anything listening is almost certainly VNC display :15.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA marks the whole block 5915-5962 Unassigned, so no service owns this number. The convention that fills it is RFB: a VNC server on display :N listens on 5900+N, which makes 5915 display :15. Hosts that hand out one display per VM or per user — QEMU/KVM, Proxmox (which documented 5900-5999 as its VNC console range), or a box running several Xvnc instances — climb into this range quickly.

Do not expose

An unregistered port in the VNC block is a remote-desktop session by default assumption; classic VNC auth is weak and unencrypted, so keep it behind SSH or a VPN.
