Technical Details
what runs on :1762CFT stands for Cross File Transfer, a proprietary suite of protocols/products by Axway intended for use in Managed File Transfer (MFT) scenarios. The port range 1762 typically corresponds to dedicated endpoints and services deployed across the CFT software stack, enabling multiple concurrent channels and differentiated workflow management.
CFT protocols facilitate point-to-point and point-to-multipoint file exchanges, automating file movements with features like security checks, file validation, audit logging, and notification capabilities. They can operate over both TCP and UDP, supporting flexibility across different network topologies and transfer requirements.
The typical deployment involves integration with enterprise resource planning, data warehousing, and other backend systems. The standardized use of these ports allows IT administrators to structure firewall rules and monitoring tools effectively, maintaining workflow continuity while granting granular access.

security overview
Common vulnerabilities for CFT include:
- Misconfigured authentication, leading to unauthorized access
- Outdated CFT software, potentially exposing exploits that allow privilege escalation or data interception
- Unencrypted data transfers, risking exposure of sensitive files during transit
- Insecure default configurations, which adversaries may exploit without deep knowledge of MFT internals
Mitigations include:
- Securing access via strong authentication (e.g., certificates, multifactor authentication)
- Encrypting file transfers using external protocols like TLS, as CFT may transmit plaintext by default
- Regularly updating and patching CFT components to close known vulnerabilities
- Implementing network segmentation and strict firewall rules around port 1762
- Monitoring logs and adding anomaly detection to identify unexpected or malicious transfer activity
