cargo tree -i cosmwasm.
Details from the advisory
The crate cosmwasm is not used anymore since spring 2020. The functionality was split in multiple different crates, such as the standard library cosmwasm-std and the virtual machine cosmwasm-vm. An overview can be found in the cosmwasm repository.
If you have this crate in your dependency tree, this is very likely by mistake and should be corrected.
