port 1801
About this tag
Port 1801 is the default TCP port used by Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ), a Windows component that provides reliable, asynchronous messaging between applications. Discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight that port 1801 is a critical attack surface for several high-severity remote code execution vulnerabilities in MSMQ, including CVE-2025-53144, CVE-2025-53143, and CVE-2025-50177.
