The application sends a SQL query to the ucs-isc server on port 8070, which returns rows from its tables.

01 Security

Is port 8070 dangerous?

We have no specific security note for port 8070. Its risk depends on the program actually listening on it. General advice for databases & caches services:

  • Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.
  • Enable authentication, use per-application accounts and require TLS.
  • Watch for exposed Docker ports: publish them on 127.0.0.1 only.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 8070, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :8070'      # process listening on 8070
sudo lsof -nP -i :8070

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :8070

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 8070 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 8070
netstat -ano | findstr :8070

From another machine

nmap -p 8070 -sV <host>
nc -zv <host> 8070

Block it in the firewall

sudo ufw deny 8070/tcp                                         # Linux (ufw)
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "Block 8070" -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 8070 -Protocol TCP -Action Block  # Windows
04 FAQ
What is port 8070 used for?

Port 8070 is assigned by IANA to ucs-isc (Oracle Unified Communication Suite's Indexed Search Converter).

Is port 8070 TCP or UDP?

Port 8070 is registered for TCP.

Is it safe to open port 8070?

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. Bind the service to localhost or a private network, never to a public address.

How do I check if port 8070 is open?

On Linux run "ss -ltnup 'sport = :8070'", on macOS "lsof -nP -i :8070", and on Windows "netstat -ano | findstr :8070" to see the local process. From another machine, "nmap -p 8070 <host>" shows whether it is reachable.
