Comment (by zodiac1978):

 I think both options (`wp-admin/options.php` and WP CLI) are not very
 known by beginners and just used by pro users - therefore the missing
 verification process is not a bug, but a feature IMHO.

 Maybe `wp-admin/options.php` should get a warning sign, like the
 plugin/theme editor. Something like "You can break things here - do you
 really know what you are doing?".
