Theme does not control RSS feeds, these are part of WordPress.

RSS validation tools are unable to validate

A) SRCSET tags
B) https enclosures, as it doesn’t know what https is (really dumb), and only validates if http, since stuck in 20th century
C) Weird crap invented by WordPress but not part of the normal Web standards

addons from Jetpack may generate this error, try disabling Jetpack features if using that which add to the RSS

<site xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">116197527</site>

If using YOAST SEO, disable the feature which adds extra text to the feeds.

(( UNRELATED Note that posts/pages should ideally be built by a user and not by ‘admin’ as you should not have an ‘admin’ named user for WordPress. ))
