Apache Flink JobManager RPC (IANA: Backup Express)

Apache Flink's JobManager RPC port — registered to Backup Express, but Flink is what you find.

TCP IANA registry

Description

IANA assigns 6123 to backup-express, Catalogic Software's Backup Express. In practice the occupant today is Apache Flink: jobmanager.rpc.port defaults to 6123, and TaskManagers connect to the JobManager on it, so every standalone, YARN, and Kubernetes Flink deployment exposes it internally. It is an RPC channel, not a web UI — Flink's dashboard is 8081. Seeing 6123 on a scan almost always means a stream-processing cluster.

Exposed to the internet?

Do not expose

Flink ships with no authentication on its RPC endpoints, and submitting a job is arbitrary code execution on the cluster; keep 6123 inside the cluster network.
