Bug Description:
Up to the current version (2024-04-12), if the description field contains escaped CDATA, feedparser fails to extract the content. I have simplified the issue and provided a minimal reproducible test case ( source RSS link ).

Expectation:
feed.entries[0].description=='some text', but the actual result is an empty string.
If &lt;![CDATA[some text]]&gt; is changed to <![CDATA[some text]]>, then it works fine.
