## Overview

The [unzip](https://crates.io/crates/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](https://crates.io/crates/zip).

## Affected packages

- `unzip >= 0.0.0-0`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
