Blender 4.5 Crashes when assigning the Camera Projection Node

[cakeller98]

Blender 4.5 (release)
windows 11 workstation
RTX A6000 (first gen)
only extensions perspective plotter 1.2.7
compify current main branch.

steps to reproduce:
create a new camera projection node
create an image texture assigned to emission
change the vector coords to the compify camera projection node*
... crashes blender, crash report below.

• note, I've only tested this in the control panel, not in the shader editor room.

the crash only happens when adding the camera projection node from the properties panel.

if I add the group in the shader panel and connect it to the image vector coords it works as expected.

this PROBABLY is not a problem with the camera project node. ;-)

[edit] after connecting it once in the shader panel, adding it in the properties panel works ok too.
