There are minimum standards for deployment to the open web. I think - and you're of course entirely free to have a different opinion - that those are not met with this code.

Yes, I have lots of opinions!
I guess the question at spotlight is: At what point would your custom server's buffer overflow when reading a header matter and would that bug even exist at that point?
Could a determined hacker get to your server without even knowing what weird software you cooked up and how to exploit your binary?
We have a lot of success stories born from bad code. I mean look at Micro$oft.
Look at all the big players like discord leaking user credentials. Why would you still call out the little fish?
Maybe I should create a form for all these ahah.

Yes.
Yes but how? After the overflow they still have to know the address of the next call site and the server would be in a UB state.
