This is the kind of thing that Wayland’s security model solves, so in elementary OS you’re already protected in the Secure session :)

@danirabbit how does Wayland know what applications should be able to read the clipboard?
I can only see a scenario where everything is shared so you get that zoom security issue or nothing is shared so effectively cut and paste is useless.
@smallsees the window manager knows which windows currently have focus and because apps are sandboxed by Flatpak you can identify them accurately and apply fine grained permissions as well
Wait, what? Wayland has a clipboard too, and sandboxed apps (like the browser I'm using right now) can read it.
