Another easy task is to backup your wp-content/themes folder. If you do not have any custom plugins (plugins from WordPress.org/plugins), you can simply delete the plugin folder.
You then need to :
- install a fresh copy of WordPress,
- and then restore your wp-content folder (excluding the plugins),
- a 3rd party plugin like WordFence. It will scan for any other files or scripts that look out of place
- Based on the number of files still affected, you can through the files and remove the injected malicious code
