Might be that the aperture is stuck and you need to get the lens repaired (might cost more than a new lens.) Or it might just be bad contacts. Clean the contacts and try another lens before asking Canon or dismantling the lens.

Have you tried cleaning the contacts? Taking out BOTH batteries? (There's a button cell as well as the main battery.) If you have a second lens you can test, i'd give that a shot first.
Either way, probably need to have it replaced or repaired right away.
Finally, have you got the latest firmware version? The XS is currently
at version 1.0.5, which was released in April of this year. You can
download it here.
Also, could check this link: 50mm-lens-contact-points and the video, as reference...
If this choice dont solve and still the same error - ship it off to Canon for service.
Hope helps.

The flat printed cables inside the lens unfortunately develop small cracks over the years and this causes the lens to fail. The repair is NOT easy, you have to tear down the lens all the way to it's base components and replace the flex cable on the aperture diaphragm. The cable and the diaphragm are available online, but again it's not a simple repair and most people should not attempt it themselves.
