01 Security

Is port 5015 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5015. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for web services:

  • Serve it over HTTPS only and check the HTTP security headers.
  • Keep admin consoles and development servers off the Internet.
  • Patch the application server and remove default credentials and sample apps.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 5015, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5015'      # process listening on 5015
sudo lsof -nP -i :5015

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5015

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5015 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5015
netstat -ano | findstr :5015

From another machine

nmap -p 5015 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 5015

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5015/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)

04 FAQ
What is port 5015 used for?

Port 5015 is assigned by IANA to fmwp (FileMaker, Inc. - Web publishing).

Is port 5015 TCP or UDP?

Port 5015 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 5015?

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. Serve it over HTTPS only and check the HTTP security headers.

How do I check if port 5015 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5015'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5015", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5015" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5015 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
