cargo tree -i unzip.
Details from the advisory
The unzip crate has only ever released a single version, 0.1.0 (published 2017-12-23), and has seen no further activity. It appears to be unmaintained, and its known path-traversal ("zip-slip") vulnerability will not be fixed.
Consider migrating to an actively maintained alternative such as zip.
