:g/^XXX/?^$?,/^$/s:aaa:bbb:g
i wish i could write that with less characters. ;)

I can't think of a more efficient way. The only suggestion is to perhaps
replace the last 'g' with a 'ge' on the off chance that a paragraph
doesn't contain the text so that the whole thing won't give an error
message.

Hi
didn't work for me - said bad range or words to that effect. This does:
:g/^XXX/.,/^$/s:aaa:bbb:g
I don't imagine aaa can occur in some other word, but in case, perhaps
\<aaa\>.
