Any known Surfboard hacks/attacks?

Are there any known Arris Surfboard attacks that would allow a Surfboard cable modem to be used as a data relay. The reason I ask is that Xfinity is reporting over double the amount of data that my Eero gateway reports. One month it’s 195% and another month it’s 206% and this month it’s 297%. I can’t think of any source of data that Xfinity would see that wouldn’t also be seen by the Eero gateway.
