It seems the only solution for now is to wait for Xubuntu’s next release

… or to use the Xubuntu QA Staging PPA

But remember the disclaimer: “As these packages (and new package versions) are primarily geared towards testing, they can be removed from the PPA at any time by the Xubuntu developers. Please DO NOT consider this PPA a main, stable source for the packages.”

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/experimental
sudo apt update

There you’ll find xfce4-screensaver 4.18.2-1~bpo23.04
