Technical Details

what runs on :2480

PowerExchange Listener is Informatica's server-side endpoint for PowerExchange data-access requests, including source reads and change-data capture workflows. Port 2480 is the commonly used listener port and may be changed in the deployment configuration. The product's normal listener communication uses TCP and its application protocol is proprietary; IANA lists both TCP and UDP for this assignment, but that does not imply the listener normally serves requests over UDP. It is not an HTTP or generic database-wire-protocol endpoint.

security overview

An exposed listener may provide a path to data sources configured for PowerExchange, so an attacker could probe it and attempt unauthorized access or data retrieval. Keep it on trusted networks, restrict access to required clients, and configure the product's authentication and supported SSL/TLS protections; do not assume traffic is encrypted by default. No specific known-exploited vulnerability is implied by the port assignment.
