I was wondering if it was possible for some applications to read the content of my clipboard and the security risks of copying passwords to clipboard. How can I check what processes have access to my clipboard (read/write)?

In X11, everything has access to your clipboard by default. That's one of the weaknesses (and strengths) of the X11 windowing system - it's obviously insecure, but allows conveniences like clipboard managers. Wayland doesn't allow such total sharing, only the application with focus is notified of clipboard changes.
