Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-46534)

Description

Attempting to call a blueprint event on a CDO object causes the editor to crash.

Regression:
Yes- Repro steps did not crash editor in binary 4.15.3 (CL 3450819)

Steps to Reproduce

Open UE4 Editor (third person template)

Add the following class declaration to ProjectNameCharacter.h above the character class declaration

UCLASS(Blueprintable)
class UMyBlueprintObject : public UObject
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
public:
	UMyBlueprintObject() {};

	UFUNCTION(BlueprintImplementableEvent, Category = "Foo")
		void Bar(UObject* SomeObject) const;

};

add the following code inside character class delcaration

	virtual void BeginPlay() override;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Foobar")
		TSubclassOf<UMyBlueprintObject> DerivedBlueprintObject;

add the following to ProjectNameCharacter.cpp

void A[ProjectName]Character::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

	if (*DerivedBlueprintObject)
	{
		DerivedBlueprintObject->GetDefaultObject<UMyBlueprintObject>()->Bar(this);
	}
}

Compile
Open ProjectFolder/Config/DefaultEditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini

Add

ContentBrowserTab1.SelectedPaths=/Game/ThirdPersonCPP[DefaultEventNodes]+Node=(TargetClass=MyBlueprintObject TargetEvent="Bar")

Save and close ini file
Open project
Create blueprint based on MyBlueprintObject (TestBP)
Drag off of Bar event and add Print String node
Select the character in the level
In the details panel, search "obj" and set Derived Blueprint Object to TestBP
PIE

Result:
Editor crashes with provided callstack

Expected:
PIE session runs and print string message appears on screen
