I booked a flight and was issued a travel itinerary. It contains my name, booking reference, E-ticket number and some other information.
For some reason, I need to forward this document to a third party. Is there any security risk of doing so? And is there any way to prevent/minimize the risk?

You should trust more your third party, so you may check online if it is a reputable person/company. With name and booking reference, people could manage your ticket (food), possibly asking refunds (if ticket is refundable). On the other hand refunds are done only on original credit card. So it should be safe. I would log in on your airline, and register an account and get that ticket on your account, (or just give your email) so that changes are send also to your email and you can block bad actions quickly

There is a risk. At a minimum, you are revealing the personal information, including your full name. The itinerary may also contain (depending on its format) your date of birth and travel document information (see What harm can be done with a copy of one's passport?). You're also revealing your whereabouts: somebody could, at least theoretically, follow you or know when you won't be home and break in.
In addition, all the information you need to change the itinerary is generally printed on the itinerary. Someone could go online or call the airline and use that information to cancel your trip or reroute you to Siberia. Getting that fixed could cost you time and money. They could engage in smaller mischief such as ordering you an unwanted vegan meal or giving you a middle seat directly in front of the lavatory.
You could minimize the risk by ensuring the third party is trustworthy (legitimate businesses do not generally spend their time messing with people's itineraries) and by redacting information unnecessary to their purpose (if they're picking you up at the airport, they may need the information of your arrival flight but not the booking code). Or you may conclude that the third party is trustworthy and necessary and provide the information.
