The database of my website has been injected few days ago, adding some strange characters and words after each post or page URL. I couldn’t find anything strange in the settings: permalinks or in the users menu. What to do to fix this problem, please? My hosting company has a backup of the infected database as well!

Perhaps its not WordPress fault, maybe your hosting security is just not as good…

Maybe that was WP External Link and Super Cache conflict…
I see my pasted WP-Super-Cache html comment above works as html comment and is invisible Text was “Page not cached by WP Super Cache. No closing HTML tag. Check your theme”.
So last Super Cache ver. promises to do not html validity check.

Oh, I’m reading!
Thanks a lot!

We really appreciate this comment, the issue was not with the WP Super Cache, we believe it was the plugin called WP External Link. We uninstalled and reinstalled WP-Super Cache twice, but then we compared the development server where everything worked fine. The difference was this plugin. When we removed that plugin it worked. You may now read that post.
