Proposed changes

Matching on the .history file can cause substring matches like with history.history. Usually .history will never be stored within webroot and so you must try and escape out of webroot via a directory traversal or similar to access it, adding an boundary to .history should fix that issue. Fixes a false positive reported in CRS dev chat.
