  "summary": "NuGet Source Mapping is a new feature designed to address the dependency confusion gap in large .NET builds. By enabling this feature, NuGet now filters configured sources per package during restore, install, and update, ensuring that package selection is based on explicit policies rather than source order and content. This security control helps protect against supply-chain attacks that could exploit the ambiguity created when public and private feeds both supply the same package ID.",
