    I get this from a Wordfence scan:

    File contains suspected malware URL: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/429320/890212/www.capalabaphysio.com.au/web/content/wp-content/cache/wp-cache-cc58aad9a92c40e03209018548901c23.html

    Filename: wp-content/cache/wp-cache-cc58aad9a92c40e03209018548901c23.html
    Bad URL: http://www.capalabaphysio.com.au/xmlrpc.php
    File type: Not a core, theme or plugin file.
    Issue first detected: 55 secs ago.
    Severity: Critical
    Status New

    What does it mean is ocurring when “/mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/429320/890212″is placed before the site URL?

    I keep getting these messages, I delete the file, run anew scan and get another new lot with the same error theme. Has my site been hacked? Why did Wordfence not stop it?

    Is that the full file system path to the infected file?

    It looks like a cached file. Are you running a cacheing plugin? Have you tried clearing the cache?

    I believe I have identified and removed the jscript that was causing the problem, and emptied the cache files.

    Just trying to understand what “/mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/429320/890212” does when it is placed before my site URL (capalabaphysio.com.au), where does it come from? What is the hacker trying to accomplish?

    I believe that folder location is used for cached files when cacheing is enabled.
