People who have rights to post on your blog, and even people who comment
have some level of access to the body section of your website, since
the content they create goes into the body tag.
Usually, website verification require you to add a meta tag
to your site. This meta tag is provided by the service you're verifying
from, and you, being a website owner, can add this meta tag to your
site's source code (usually the head section) and get your website
verified.
So what if people who don't own your site add a meta tag for website verification in the <body> section of your website?
As Google's Matt Cutts clarifies, Google only checks for meta tags embedded into the <head> tag of your website. And the head does NOT mean the header. The head contains all the definitions, stylings, rules, and so on. And it is where meta tags should be added. Meta tags with the body don't make much sense.
So as long as others are only editing your website's body section, you needn't worry about any attacks or verification attempts, should any be made. But if you're giving others access to your site's head section, then you should think again by granting such permissions.
If you found anything confusing, please do let me know. I'm here to help. Cheers :)
