Describe the bug

I'm trying to add the URL https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research.html?category=trend-micro-research:article-type/research to FreshRSS. It does not have a RSS feed available, so I'm using HTML + XPath to create one. However, after setting it up, it returns "This feed is empty. Please verify that it is still maintained."

FreshRSS[101]: FreshRSS uses cache for https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/research.html?category=trend-micro-research:article-type/research
[Sun Feb 09 17:57:45.862013 2025] [php:notice] [pid 101:tid 101] [client 100.75.65.61:51717] PHP Notice:  is invalid XML, likely due to invalid characters. XML error: XML_ERR_NAME_REQUIRED at line 32, column 39 in /var/www/FreshRSS/lib/simplepie/simplepie/src/SimplePie.php on line 1917

To Reproduce

Add the feed with source type HTML + XPath
Update the feed
See error

Expected behavior

To work as normal

FreshRSS version

1.25.0

System information

Database version: built-in SQLite (couldn't find the version number)
PHP version: 8.2.26
Installation type: Docker
Web server type: Apache
Device: Desktop PC
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2
Browser: Firefox 135.0

Additional context

I configured HTML + XPath feeds on other two websites and they are working fine.

Could you please export the feed settings as OPML file and upload the file as txt or its plain text content here?
