As per Microsoft docs, 4648 stands for

"This event is generated when a process attempts to log on an account by explicitly specifying that account’s credentials. This most commonly occurs in batch-type configurations such as scheduled tasks, or when using the RUNAS command."

I am checking through event logs for identifying a security breach, and a 4648 event log is as follows.
A logon was attempted using explicit credentials.

Subject:

Security ID: SYSTEM
Account Name: 1234-PC$
Account Domain: WORKGROUP
Logon ID: 0x3E7
Logon GUID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Account Whose Credentials Were Used:

Account Name: Administrator
Account Domain: 5678-PC

Logon GUID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

Target Server:
Target Server Name: localhost

Additional Information: localhost

Process Information:
Process ID: 0x1e0f4

Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\winlogon.exe

Network Information:
Network Address: 12.34.56.78
Port: 12345
"
