TCP 15672
Synopsis
- TCP port 15672 is the default port for the RabbitMQ Management Plugin, which provides RabbitMQ’s HTTP management UI and REST API.
- The official RabbitMQ Docker image exposes port 15672 for the management console.
- Kubernetes deployments (e.g., Bitnami RabbitMQ Helm chart and the official RabbitMQ Helm chart) expose the management interface on 15672.
- Managed RabbitMQ services such as CloudAMQP, and Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ, use the management plugin that listens on 15672 (often proxied or access-restricted).
- Linux and Windows installations of RabbitMQ with the management plugin enabled typically bind the console to 15672 by default.
- Security note: attackers routinely scan for exposed 15672 to access RabbitMQ’s management console; misconfigurations (e.g., weak or default credentials, broad exposure) have been abused to take over brokers and access or manipulate message queues.
