Is port 5007 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5007. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for other services services:

  • Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.
  • Identify the process that listens on it (commands below) before opening it in a firewall.
  • Expose a service only to the networks that use it.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 5007, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5007'      # process listening on 5007
sudo lsof -nP -i :5007

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5007

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5007 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5007
netstat -ano | findstr :5007

From another machine

nmap -p 5007 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5007 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5007

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5007/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 5007 used for?

Port 5007 is assigned by IANA to wsm-server-ssl (wsm server ssl).

Is port 5007 TCP or UDP?

Port 5007 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5007?

It depends on the program that listens on it. Open it only for a service you know and only to the networks that need it. Close the port if nothing on the host needs it.

How do I check if port 5007 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5007'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5007", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5007" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5007 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
