01 Security

Is port 7215 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 7215. 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 7215, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :7215'      # process listening on 7215
sudo lsof -nP -i :7215

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :7215

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 7215 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 7215
netstat -ano | findstr :7215

From another machine

nmap -p 7215 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 7215

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 7215/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 7215" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 7215 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 7215 used for?

Port 7215 is assigned by IANA to PS-Server (Communication ports for PaperStream Server services).

Is port 7215 TCP or UDP?

Port 7215 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 7215?

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 7215 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :7215'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :7215", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :7215" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 7215 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
