01 Security

Is port 5137 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 5137. 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 5137, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :5137'      # process listening on 5137
sudo lsof -nP -i :5137

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :5137

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 5137 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 5137
netstat -ano | findstr :5137

From another machine

nmap -p 5137 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 5137 <host>
nc -zv <host> 5137

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 5137/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 5137" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 5137 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 5137 used for?

Port 5137 is assigned by IANA to ctsd (MyCTS server port).

Is port 5137 TCP or UDP?

Port 5137 is registered for TCP and UDP.

Is it safe to open port 5137?

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 5137 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :5137'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :5137", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :5137" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 5137 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
