You need to harden your website security and as you are WordPress there are security plugins available which can tell you a lot.
As these URLs are not created by you and there is no redirect to some other domain (purpose of creating or generating pages to redirect to other 3rd party website) seems a bit fine here as it is throwing a 404 page.
Check the scan -> https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/www.vanisoftware.com
Let google see the 404 page and there is no harm until these pages return 404 - make sure all pages return 404. If you see more redirected pages or generated pages then tighten your website security,

Thanks for your reply. You have shared some helpful info about security.
Here, we want to tell that we are using HTML5 technology for our website not wordpress. Yes earlier our website was in the wordpress, but we converted it to HTML.
Now also we are getting spammy 404 links. Is it possible to stop it on HTML to stop it?
Thanks,
Mihir
