01 Security

Is port 3003 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 3003. 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 3003, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :3003'      # process listening on 3003
sudo lsof -nP -i :3003

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :3003

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3003 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 3003
netstat -ano | findstr :3003

From another machine

nmap -p 3003 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 3003 <host>
nc -zv <host> 3003

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 3003/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 3003" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 3003 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 3003 used for?

Port 3003 is assigned by IANA to cgms (CGMS).

Is port 3003 TCP or UDP?

Port 3003 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 3003?

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 3003 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :3003'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :3003", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :3003" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 3003 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
