W32.Axatak [Symantec-2002-082217-5638-99] - password stealing virus with remote access trojan capabilities. Affects all current Windows versions, uses ports 8888 and 8889.
Autodesk VRED Professional 2014 contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability. Autodesk VRED Professional 2014 contains an integrated web server that binds to port tcp/8888 which is accessible remotely. It has been reported that this web server gives access to a Python API which provides users with a vast amount of libraries which could allow an attacker to execute operating system commands. Through this API, Python code can be executed on the target system, the output is returned in the web server response. By importing the Python "os" library, arbitrary operating system commands can be executed on the target system with the privileges of the user running VRED Professional 2014.
References: [CVE-2014-2967]
An issue was discovered in CloudMe 1.11.0. An unauthenticated local attacker that can connect to the "CloudMe Sync" client application listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8888 can send a malicious payload causing a buffer overflow condition. This will result in code execution, as demonstrated by a TCP reverse shell, or a crash. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-6892.
References: [CVE-2018-7886], [EDB-44470]
A directory traversal vulnerability was discovered in Enphase Envoy R3.*.* via images/, include/, include/js, or include/css on TCP port 8888.
References: [CVE-2019-7678]
XSS exists in Enphase Envoy R3.*.* via the profileName parameter to the /home URI on TCP port 8888.
References: [CVE-2019-7677]
A weak password vulnerability was discovered in Enphase Envoy R3.*.*. One can login via TCP port 8888 with the admin password for the admin account.
References: [CVE-2019-7676]
An issue was discovered in FC46-WebBridge on GE Grid Solutions MS3000 devices before 3.7.6.25p0_3.2.2.17p0_4.7p0. Direct access to the API is possible on TCP port 8888 via programs located in the cgi-bin folder without any authentication.
References: [CVE-2022-43976], [CVE-2022-43975]
A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC PCS neo (Administration Console) (All versions < V3.1 SP1), SINETPLAN (All versions), TIA Portal (V15, V15.1, V16 and V17). The affected system cannot properly process specially crafted packets sent to port 8888/tcp. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a Denial-of-Service condition. The affected devices must be restarted manually.

SANS ISC: port 8888
Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify
a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly
used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.
TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol
on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts
to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data
and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.
UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol)
and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer,
but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received
the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive
applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.
When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them.
This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command.
We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software.
