Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
We have seen this type of issue before with Divi. It happens when you are using the Blurb feature in Divi and using a background image in the Blurb.
Users have already reported this to Divi, but we suggest you notify them as well to move the issue to priority. You can ask them if they have a solution where these background images of blurbs are not included in the sitemaps.
The functionality of Rank Math, being able to see Divi images and adding them to the sitemap, was added by the Divi team, and that is why it is recommended that you contact them directly.
However, the only way to fix this issue temporarily is to disable the Images in the Sitemap option in Rank Math sitemap settings:

Looking forward to helping you.
Do you think my full page sitemap is not being read by Google because of these errors? Is better to disable or leave it as it is?
Hello,
Yes, those errors can make the sitemap invalid, which may prevent Google from reading it properly.
We recommend disabling the “Images in Sitemaps” option in Rank Math settings to resolve this. Google can still discover images through your content, so this won’t impact indexing.
Here’s how to do that: https://rankmath.com/kb/configure-sitemaps/#images-in-sitemaps
